    Try typing "MS Access" in the search box at the top of this page, after reading much of what you find there, come back and ask again.

    I once wrote a perl script that connected to an Access Database using the Win32::ODBC module...

    Here is a bit of code to get you started:

    # Load the module use Win32::ODBC; # Make a new database object, the dsn, # userid, and password are things you need # to fill in my($db) = new Win32::ODBC("dsn=yourdsn; uid=foo; pwd=bar"); # Send the database some SQL $db->Sql("SELECT * FROM your_table"); #print out some stuff while ($db->FetchRow()) { my(%data) = $db->DataHash(); print "Your data is: $data{'some_value'}"; } # Close the database $db->Close();

    It is a good idea to include statements that check for errors... maybe you should read this tutorial.

    I just posted this node in reply to a similar question. Here's the sample code included in that node:

    use strict; use Win32::OLE; my $provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'; my $dir = 'c:\perl\cgi-bin'; my $dbase = 'mydb.mdb'; my $user = ''; #use if needed my $password = ''; #use if needed my $connStr = "Provider=$provider;Data Source=$dir\\$dbase;User ID=$us +er;Password=$password;"; my $conn = Win32::OLE->new('ADODB.Connection') or die("Could not creat +e Connection: $!"); $conn->Open($connStr);
