  How can I connect to MS ACCESS database without using alias (CBuilder, BDE).

  I write:

  db->DriverName="MSACCESS";

  db->Params->Add("DATABASE NAME=c:\mybase.mdb");

  Got a failure.

  When I did so with MS SQL Server base, I had success.

  I believe you can tell Access that the default driver is Access by putting a semicolon in front of the connect string.

      Dim tdfLinked As TableDef        

      Set tdfLinked = dbsTemp.CreateTableDef("Table")

      tdfLinked.Connect = ";Database=c:\mybase.mdb"

      tdfLinked.SourceTableName = "TableName"

      CurrentDb.TableDefs.Append tdfLinked
