The database explorer only allows for connections to MS SQL and Access and does not allow me to add additional data connectors. Does this mean I'll have to do a manual ADO connection? I'm guessing yes but I want to be sure. I just started and I'm still learning the UI.

I'll answer my own question so anyone else who tries this will know.

The VB.NET Express edition is pretty firm about only allowing SQL and Access data connections, at least with wizards. You may be able to manually code the connection string but I didn't have success with that either but I don't know if that was my weak coding skills or the limitation of the Express edition.

Hi Marc,

it is not a limitation of the Express Edition.
First you have to decide in which way you would like to access to SalesLogix: OLEDB with the SalesLogix OLEDB provider or native SQL. Depending on that decision you have to import the namespaces

Imports System.Data.Sql or
Imports System.Data.OleDb

With these namespace you have the fundamental access to SalesLogix

Regards,
Thomas

If you need further help I can psot or send you some VB.net code.
