database access without ODBC or DAO

[milner]

I want to access a database (dBase III) from VC++ without having to set it up in anything outside my source code.

I need to be able to access records, create/delete records, and create new tables (files).

I know ODBC needs to be set up in control panel, does DAO?

Any help is greatly appreciated

One way to accomplish your goal is to create the DSN entry programmatically. Take a look at the ODBC API function SQLConfigDataSource()

Hope this helps
