Does it depend on my development package? Hi Mr. Feldman, I just start learning ADA for my new project in my company. I bought both of your ADA 95 books which are excellent learning tools. I am currently working on how to make a ODBC driver connection from ADA to Access Database. I can do it in Visual C++ and Borland C++ by making SQL calls directly after ODBC drivers are loaded. Since I am new to ADA, I wonder what I need to do to make the same kind of ODBC connections from ADA. I appreciate your advices or point me to books in the market that specifically deal with Windows programming through ADA. Thank you very much. : Mike Feldman : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ : Michael B.
