Any reason why you don't want to use MFC? Since Access is made by Microsoft, I doubt you can easily manipulate access databases without MFC, unless you know the internal data structure of Access.

Just a note about the code as I look at it: &nbsp;You'll need to create a udl file and change the code to open it rather than &quot;F:\MyDB.udl&quot;. &nbsp;Easiest way is to go into file explorer right pane and right click and do New-&gt;Text File and rename the file to &lt;your name&gt;.udl. &nbsp;Then double-click on the empty udl file and you'll get a configuration dialog. &nbsp;On the Provider tab, select &quot;Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider&quot;. &nbsp;If you're using Access prior to Acces 2000, use Jet 3.51 provider.<br />
<br />
Then on the Connection tab select the Access file and test the connection. &nbsp;That will get you going.<br />
<br />
You'll also want to change the query for the CCommand to something that will work on your database.

C++ and Access

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
