Bryan, Although this doesn't answer your initial request...why are you wanting to 'argue' with this guy over the database to use. If he won't code for the application to use MySQL (which isn't all that hard in VB regardless of what he says) then get another coder...as simple as that. There's a plethora of coding contractor sites out there any of which probably have a good base of coders with the skills you need capable of coding your software using VB and MySQL.
