What are the requirements of this?
How to connect that? Give the example.

Jump to PostYes, ODBC is the oldest and most widely used method, but not the fasted. There are a few free ODBC C++ classes out there too that will help simplify the job-- just google for them.

Hi,
I had the same query, my database connection query was SQL. Jencas replied to my thread, mentioned something about ODBC, look for the thread "Connecting C++ with SQL" by me.

Hi, sorry I misread, took where he said "access" as if he wanted to access the database oops!
