I've always skipped the forms in Access and just used LabVIEW to
connect directly to a database. You can create a form in LabVIEW that
looks the same. I would think that the only way to use an Access form
is through ActiveX and that's a lot more work than using ADO and SQL.
NI sells the Database connectivity toolkit or you can try LabSQL from
<A href="http://jeffreytravis.com/";>Jeffrey Travis</A>. A huge
advantage of either of these approaches is that they execute a lot
faster than ActiveX and you don't have to install Access everyplace
that you want to talk to a database. Finally, it becomes a lot easier
to move to a more robust database like Oracle or SQL Server if and
when you outgrow Access.
