i'm sorry but i'm not quite sure about exactly what i'm supposed to do. (in
addition, i'm using windows 98).
say i have an access datbase located in C:\program
files\borland\cbuilder\examples\data\customer.mdb.
how do i read from this DB. tell me exactly what data-access controls and
data-aware controls i need, and what properties of what components do ineed to
set to what value.
i'm disappointed that the book i have doesn' really explain this, and i'm
having a hard time finding some info about this.
if you are aware of any internet source of info realting to this please let me
know.
thank you so much ,
hope to hear from you
jack
