Read/Update MS Access 7.0 db from Delphi Developer 2.0 (PLEASE HELP)

Greetings,

How does one setup the connection between Delphi Developer 2.0
with Microsoft Access 7.0 for Windows 95. Can someone kindly
email a specific set of instructions.

If there are any other FAQ or WEB sources relating to this
topic, your responses will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Take a look at Opus DirectAccess. This product was made to get from Delphi
to Access with a minimum amount of fuss, but maximum speed.

The only way I know with Delphi Developer is to use ODBC (which
is exactly what I do). First set up an ODBC32 data source using
the ODBC32 Administrator (in control panel) for your database.
Then set up an ODBC Driver in the BDE32 Config. Make an alias if
you like. Then point your app at the alias, which in turn points to
the ODBC data source, which in turn points to the .MDB file.

BTW, yes, this is pretty slow with any amount of data in the database.

I have found that "Help File" that is posted on the borland
delphi support page to pretty valuable, as is this newsgroup...
