I am trying to query, store data into, and move data from a Microsoft
Access database using C++. I posted on the microsoft.public.access
group, and was given some information about how to do this using a
Windows script; however, I need to do this in C++. The posters on the
forum recommended that I post to a C++ forum instead.

Also, I should note that I do not have access to Microsoft Visual C++;
I am using a free compiler, Bloodshed Dev C++. I have working
academic knowledge of C++, mostly from working in a UNIX environment;
I know very little about Windows programming.

Using Visual C++ and MFC's ODBC or DAO wrapper classes it is something
trivial, also well covered in provided dox and samples (i.e. daoview) and
other books (i.e. Professional MFC ...)

However if you want the obstracle course, you have to read the documentation
of tha raw APIs on MSDN or find some other libraries or COM controls that
help.
