Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to display a form contained in a Microsoft Access DB from a Visual C++ application? There is no guarantee that MS Access will be installed on the machine.

Thanks
Gary
 
I never used databases in VC, but every time I start a new MFC project, I can see that there's support for it.

Try creating a new application with MFC appWizard and you'll see in step 2 out of 6 that you can select database support.

Check DataBase view with file support there and chose a data source. You'll find Access databases there.
From there on, try to guide yourself on using the classes provided by MSVC.

HTH, at least a bit. [red]Nosferatu[/red]
