Hi chaps, I need a point in the right direction....
Does anyone program in VB in Visual studio 2012?
I have a selection of programs that I have written over the years in VB6 they all access Microsoft Access databases.
Most of this stuff I need to revamp to be able to use it on the latest Window platforms.
I have been trying to update the old stuff to use later style functions in VS2012 but I feel like I am banging my head against the wall as they appear to got rid of most of the database control stuff I used to use.
So my question is....
What is the best language to write stuff in to be a little more future proof
and
What is the best type of database am I to use as it appears access is well outdated and may soon not be supported.
please help any I have been out of this stuff for 11 years
