ABSTRACT

This chapter describes how to connect to an Access database in a Windows-based application so that we can present data from tables and queries in the Access database in the Windows-based application. We first introduce how to add an Access database as a data source to an application. We then bring data from tables and simple Select queries to an application. We also describe other capacities such as handling Crosstab and Select queries with a parameter, displaying related data from parent and child tables, and writing Visual Basic code to retrieve, add, and delete data of an Access database.
