Re: Sensor Database Structure

I take your point of the data relevancy. I'm always a back both horses kind of guy.

Try to get a balance Cheers D...

Re: Visual Basic Help

I don't have any problems using the connector/net. I've got that installed as well I think.

The thing I wasn't sure about was do you need to add references etc as well as installing the driver and using the code.

thanks for your help :)
