Re: [Dev-C++] Access databases

[Yeoh H. <ye...@ye...>]

Hello everyone,

Actually you can write a C++ program to access a Microsoft Access database
without requiring the user to setup the ODBC DSN. I've written an example
program using Dev-C++ 4.9.8.0 (GCC3.2) that reads from a Microsoft Access
2000 database that does not require the user to setup any ODBC DSN.

If you like I could e-mail the sample source code to you. :-)

Regards,
Yeoh
