| Database programming within Visual C++ |
| This is a collection of
programs which integrate Visual C++ with a desktop
database (in particular Microsoft Access). An overview of
this website can be found here. All of the tasks on the original Visual C++ website should be completed and understood
before starting on this website. A previous basic 'working
knowledge' of Microsoft Access is also assumed. Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6.0 and Microsoft Access 97 are both required for the tasks presented here. The
correct database components of Visual C++ must be
installed. Instructions on this setup procedure
may be found on pages 31-34 from the book "Database
programming with Visual C++ 6 in 21 days" - Lyn
