i just figured it out.

I was trying to figure out how to pass a parameter to a tableadapter.fill
i was setting up my SQL query wrong...

[chrisatpsu]

since I got it working...  i replaced 1,714,978 lines of code with 33
how cool is that!

it sounds like you might have wasted a bit of time writing the first 1,714,945 lines.

databse connection strings, and SQL statements were always intimidating to me. so it basically replaced a lot of "hardcoded data" which was mostly copy and pasted with slight modifications.

now that it can pull from a database, it's MUCH more manageable.
