As simple as this looks, I'm not able to get this to work properly.I've asked on the forums, but their more worried about code rather than the query builder.

When I type the same thing that you typed into the filter box (exactly like it is typed in the video)I get nothing.No error message, no results, absolutly nothing.I've also created a database from scratch, along with a test program to access it, and I get the same thing.

I'm not sure if this is specific to VS 2008 and it does'nt work on VB 2008 Express Edition.

Hi Mreed72,
 
If you're using Express you'll also need to install SQL Server Express as well. It's a separate download. The Express versions can only work with a local database file (MDF) and not attached databases. The MDF file is located in the sample download and you should be able to hit F5 for it to run. SQL Express will automatically attach to the database file at runtime. There are some tricks when working with local database files that you should be aware of so check out this post:

Do you have SQL Express installed and are still having problems? The code was written in version 2005 but it should be compatible with 2008.
