I've been trying to cut my teeth on writing applications that read/write/query databases for some time now. In the past, I have used MS-Access to learn the basics of database theory and I have a pretty good handle on it: Tables, keys, normalization, joins, queries, etc - all using the SQL command window that Access provides. I don't have any problem with any of that.

However, when I attempt to use C# or MFC to get at my Access file, all hell breaks loose. My immediate problem is:

What must I do to gain access to my Access database file from an MFC or C# program? What drivers and connections must I set up - and how? I'm using Windows XP-Pro. I have found the ODBC Data Sources icon under the Administration Tools in Control Panel but I am absolutely stupified by the complexity of this and the bottom line is that I can't get it to work.

My problem in broader terms is that I can never find an explanation - for humans - that de-mystifies all of this database technology. It seems I have seveal database drivers installed on my system and I have no idea how they got there and I have no idea what to do with them. Invariably, when I consult somebody that understands databases, they start spouting all kinds of abbreviations, acronyms, jargon and terms that really make no sense to somebody who is starting out. I have done a thorough search of internet resources, books, etc... I find nothing helpful.

Some advice to solve my immediate problem would be appreciated. Some advise to solve my broader difficulties would earn a place in my will.

Thank you,
Jethro
