[AccessD] OT: How To Learn VS 2005

Here is an automated SQL Server code generator from Microsoft France 
Called OLY MARS
It allows instant generation of both SQL and .Net code providing a 
complete library of stored procedures,
 .NET classes and ready-to-use Windows/Web form controls (including 
associated documentation).
You can use to build corporate templates or get SQL Server programs up 
and running quickly
Some of the Documentation maybe in French only
