Before you start programming, you need to read few articles:
Arrays in VB[^]
ADO.NET[^]
Editing an Access Database[^]
Using ADO.NET for beginners[^]
Using Transactions in ADO.NET[^]

Developers community number 1 connection string reference[^]

How to add data in ms Access[^]
Running acccess query in vb.net[^]
ADO.NET Code examples[^]

Scenario:
1) open connection to the database
2) walking through all records in array (using for...next[^] or do...while[^] loop):
--->a) create sql command to insert data into Access table (INSERT INTO[^])
--->b) execute command
3) close connection

That's all!

PS
In the future you need to be more specific, if you would like to get help (exactly what you want).

Solution 1

Using DataTable and DataRows classes in C# .NET, you can achieve it. Here is the sample code:

C#

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt = dsData.Tables[0].Clone();
DataRows[] drResults = dsData.Tables[0].Select("ColName = 'criteria');

foreach(DataRow dr in drResults)
{
    object[] row = dr.ItemArray;
    dt.Rows.Add(row);
}

You can use ODBC connection to connect MS Access DataTable.

My vote: 1. Why?
1) Tag: VB.NET. Your code is in C#. I know, the languages are similar, but not the same.
2) I don't see the code, where you copying data from array into access table.

can you explain what i do here:

DataRows[] drResults = dsData.Tables[0].Select("ColName = 'criteria');

foreach(DataRow dr in drResults)
{
object[] row = dr.ItemArray;
dt.Rows.Add(row);

Yes, i can, but i won't...
You have assumed that the OP holds the data in the DataSet object (dsData), but he asks for a array!

Sorry, i was thinking, that is a comment of Genesan... You need to provide more informations. What kind of array? Where you store your data? Is it multidimensional array?

hi,
Its is an array of records.. It just stores students names and marks in to the array. However i then want to take each name and mark and store it in ms access database.
