Hi,
I guess you already get everything you needed. But I am not very sure since
I am not using the express version of VC++.
From the VS website:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/features/data/default.aspx
it seems that the MDAC is supported in the express version of VS.
For the ADO.Net problem, you may visit the page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/adonetprogmsdn.asp
for a comparison between ADO.Net and ADO.
In general, if you want scalibility, you may want to use ODBC or OLEDB. But
if you are working on some web application, you may want to use ADO or
ADO.Net because of their better support on the scripting languages.
But if you only want to write a simple console application, then all of them
(ODBC, OLEDB, ADO, ADO.Net, etc.) should be fine.

thanks. I've found Windows Data Access Components SDK (6.0). Is that what
you mean?
So, just to confirm, to write a simple C++ application to access a database
I have to downloaded and install the following:
1. Visual C++ 2005 Express
2. Microsoft ® Windows Server® 2003 R2 Platform SDK
3. Windows Data Access Components SDK
Someone on a forum also recommended I download the new .NET Framework as
well and use ADO.NET instead of MFC. Is this a good idea?
All I want to do is write a simple console application that crunches some
data and accesses a MS Access database. Could you please advise whether I am
going down the right route here and whether I have installed ALL the
necessary components to do this task.
thanks for your help,
Bill.

Hi Bill,
In the mean time, please download the Microsoft Data Access SDK.

thanks, but I don't have that directory. I got ODBCtest.exe from the PSDK
for Windows Server 2003 R2, not Microsoft Data Access SDK 2.8. It is in this
directory and there is no odbctest.chm file (I searched for it):
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin
Was I supposed to download SDK 2.8?

The link of the help file may be incorrect. This will be fixed later.
In the mean time, you may use the file from the location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Access SDK 2.8\Tools\odbctest.chm
[The exact location depends on your MDAC SDK installation path]

Hi
I am new to Visual C++ and trying to write some code that uses an ODBC data
connection. The Platform SDK installation instructions recommend using ODBC
Test to test my data connection. I opened the application but there are no
help files.
The help file '..\HELP\ODBCTEST.CHM' could not be loaded.
I've searched the internet and can't find a download of this help file. I
noticed other people have had this problem as far back as 2002.
Bill.
