Hi, the .mdb files are a Data Base, created with Microsoft Office... You can use the SQLite library but I'm not really sure that it's the same datas... You can download Basic4PPC for free (Demo) if you want test and try with SQLite... There're some documents on Help>Libraries Help>SQL...

@sitajony - He knows that .mdb files are created by Access! He has already stated that, for you to restate it is unnecessary. SQLite has no compatibility with mdb files and trying it is a waste of time. Please don't make "suggestions" about things of which you appear to have no knowledge.

@winjia - Registered purchasers of Basic4ppc can download this http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/5594-odbc-library.html which will only work on the desktop as it needs the Microsoft .NET ODBC driver. The first comment in the sample code in the first post of that thread shows how to open an Access database. I haven't used that library myself but the chances of it working look good, however there may be limitations as to what you can do that I am not aware of as databases are not really my area of expertise.

You need the library that interfaces the ODBC driver to Basic4ppc which, as I said, if you were a registered user you could download from the link at the bottom of the first post in that thread I gave.

You also need to be a registered user to download the library for another way to do what you want that giannimaione indicated.

You need to buy Basic4ppc to get access to the additional libraries and to get the full version that will let you compile your programs.
