Programming in 64 bit microsoft 7 home premium

Question

I am running windows 7 home premium 64 bit . Can I write vb.net program on this 64 bit machine, and install the program on a XP machine?

If not I think I will re-install windows 32 bit on my machine.

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, your VB Express code will default to 32bit executables, and TargetCPU will be set to x86 (which really is x32).

Thanks so much.

I do have other problems this forum , may be the wrong place. I have a client who has an Access 2010 database . I am wanting a program for them in vb.net express 2010. I want to use sq express 2008. I installed both vb.net and sql 2008 express I converted the access database to sql data base.

I can access the new sql database using sql  server management studio. But when I try  to setup a connection in vb.net using server exployer and I point to the sql data directory and selecting my sql database it tells me I do not have permission to open file.

any ideas

thanks to all

You will get more help if you post this second question by itself, with a new Subject.  I've never done what you are trying to do, specifically -- but I am sure that the answer is straight forward.

Yeah, but someone who has specific experience with Access DB ported to SQL Express may not see your question.
