Re: msaccess and dataset problems
VC8 also has a different data access framework in the form of
OLE DB consumers in ATL in regular C++. Let's not jump into
.NET unless OP really needs that. Additionally, VC8 ships with
MFC which I believe still has native support for the dated DAO
(I never use MFC, so I don't know if they've cut that off by now).
Finally, you can use C++ to access databases via ADO (not .NET)
using #import as well as via raw ODBC (though this API is from
the C era).
True.
But since the OP asked about DataSet, I assumed that he was using .NET .
MFC is still alive and kicking (or at least, thrashing around :-) ) but
regardless of which he chooses, if he doesn't have any experience with
whatever technology he is using, the only solution is to
a) find a couple of tutorials about said technology and
b) read a book about it.
If you are using .NET, ADO .NET is the way to go, but it is sufficiently
complicated that it took me a significant amount of time to learn despite
having written lots of advanced ODBC code.
