Hello,

I am quite new to database programming so I have a question:
I did some programming on a paradox database using the BDE.
Now I want to use a access database. Someone told me that I
should use ODBC because this is on every machine so you don't
have to distibute BDE.
How do I connect an access database in my software using ODBC?
Which components mut I use?
Does this have anything to do with ADO?

Thanks for your info in advance,

Mart.
