Hi, The below tutorial tells you how to get SQLite and use it with Visual Studio Express. Here’s my question. I don’t want to use Visual Studio. How do I take that knowledge, write VB in a text editor, and still include SQLite? I guess I’m asking what Visual Studio does behind the scenes that I would have to recreate. http://www.kirupa.com/net/sqllite_vb_pg1.htm Thanks.
