Par2: Accessing Access files with ODBC
1998-10-13 -- Jerry Ray
 
You can do this via ODBC. Make sure you have the latest Microsoft ODBC driver for Access databases (version 2.1). Since the Clarion IDE is a 16-bit application, if your Access database is being accessed with a 32-bit data source, use Clarion 4 on a Windows NT machine to perform the file import into the definition in the dictionary. You can get a copy of ODBC 2.1 from ftp://ftp.sunet.se/ftp/pub/vendor/Microsoft/developr/ODBC/public/ODBC21.exe. Once the file definition is in the dictionary (however you got it there), you can make and compile a 16-bit or 32-bit application that can use the database.
