hi guys!

hows it going?

i'm after some help... have been reading up on this all morning but cant seem to get the info i am after or atleast cant get my head round it.

I am making my first VB app which is basically a forms app - the first form is a logon form with username/password text entry boxes and logon and cancel buttons.

I have MS SQL Express installed on one of the machines on the network and within SQL is a database called checks, which contains a table called users.

What I am trying to do it have my vb app work in such a way that when a user enters a username and password and clicks logon, it will connect to the checks database, lookup the username they have entered in the users table, match the password, and then proceed if there is a match.

sounds pretty simple and i'm surprised this has me stumped, but i'm getting desperate!!
HELP A NOOB :)

Cheers guys!

Jonny
