Using ADO with data from a binary file



Hello!

I have been assigned to a small project which implements a program that
imports data from other applications to our DB (Access).
Some data are *.dbf so no problem.
But some are custom binary files that I need to parse.
Users will select rows to import.

Is there are way that I can bind the data from a custom file to ADO so
that I can show the data in a data-bound datagrid without saving the
data into a database?

Similarly, it there a way to bind an array of structures to db-control?
(Basically this is the same question as the first one, I guess).

Thanks in advance.

Sam
