This seems to be the hardest thing to get help with - there are no books, no useful google results, and borland's own help facilities are far to complicated for me to isolate the answers I need.

I want to make a connection to an already existing microsoft access database using builder.

I want to be able add/delete/read the records. that's all.

Or failing that. how do I create a simple database/table using builder. It would be ideal if I had an application that could create a table if it didn't already exist, then use that table from that point onwards.

I want to avoid creating DSNs. I want direct access to the database from builder.

If you could point me in the direction of a good online tutorial for this that would be a start. If you could actually provide the help yourself (ie tell me how to do it, rather than show me an article) that would be great and I'd be very greatful.

Had to use google translator to translate it into English, but once I did it was quite useful. Thanks.

Have you looked at the VCL's ADO components yet? TADOConnection, TADOCommand, etc.
