Hi Yvan

Thanks for the info. To be honest I have never used VB.net to write to SQL only Access but its probably only a change of connection strings needed. So I will create another version of my program to write to a local SQL Database and see if I can get the merge working.

The only big question I have is its easy to deploy a blank Access Database with all the tables setup with my application, how do I deploy an SQL Express database with tables ect via my VB.net application as it wont just be a simple case of copying a blank database to each touchscreen unti.

Cheers
