Is the only way to access a (Windows) Microsoft Access database by way of the ODBCDatabase class? If not, what alternatives are available? _________________ Steve rs2012 r2.1 Windows 7.

There are ADO examples around though I find ADO in Real Studio to be tedious. ODBC is the "native" way to do it. _________________ Bob K.

Yes, I'm on Windows and my particular project is for Windows but don't want to be locked into Windows only processes. _________________ Steve rs2012 r2.1 Windows 7.
