Visual C++ 2008 as frontend for Access

Question

I am working on a database project that requires me to code in C++. I have the framework for the relational database built using Microsoft Access. Since I would like a GUI for the user, I am trying to use Visual C++ 2008 to build it.

I have tried to build a solution as a win32 console app, MFC app, and CLR app, each halting me with their various errors.

I have scoured the web for help but to no avail. If anyone could give me some direction or, better yet, a link to a good tutorial, it would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

I found an MSDN article about developing C / C++ apps that connect to Microsoft Access. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I think Access is the best front end for Access. Is there a reason why does your project require VC++?
