What is it about me that makes me such a slow learner and allows me to trust things that Microsoft tells me? The cool, helpful controls and objects that are provided with VB 2005 Express for data access are giving me such grief that I am considering starting from scratch without them. I write web-based applications with VB Script and ADO and hand-write all my SQL statements and they seem reliable once I troubleshoot them, but with my VB app ("it will be good for me to use VB for a change" - yeah right) I get a form working nicely and then when I come back to it a week later, it's all flakey. I'm unclear on the relationship between the table adapters on the data source schema and the instance in the form's definition. Maybe there's something to look into there.
