Re: Connecting to an Access Database in Delphi 2006


Are you trying to connect to Access in a Delphi for .NET app or a
Delphi for Win32 App? If it is a .NET app is it VCL for .NET or is it
WinForms.

It was a delphi asp dot net app. maybe im loosing the plot here but the
database components available seem to be BdpConnection (which even if I
drag from data explorer still doesnt work) or an SQLconnection /
SQLDataAdapter. If I use that component it wants to build the connection
string from a database server ie sql server or interbase - not a simple
Access table.

I can easily achieve it in Visual Studio using the OLEDbconnection
components. How hard can it be to do this in delphi 2006? Am I doing
something wrong here?
