Hi all, 

What's the best way to querry an Access database to pick up data to place in ID? 

I'm just getting started so the most basic pointers are appreciated. (like what type library to include in my project). 

Dan the intern wrote a JavaScript for Acrobat that auto-creates our literature order form by querrying a table in an Access database to get prices, order numbers etc.  He accessed the database using ODBC I think.  I had to set up a DSN file on my computer (using ODBC Data Source Administrator) before the java script could get at the data. 

I guess I'm looking for a sample script to learn from or a nudge in the right direction. 

Thanks for any help! 

Ben
