Access and VB

[Anonymous]

I know that I am missing something easy here. How do I connect AutoCAD to
Access using VB 6.0? All I want to do is see if my part number is already
in the table and if not add it to the table.

Have you ever accessed Access before?...

The steps you would take;

1) Read the Drawing Number from you drawing - Stored in a System Variable or
reading the File Name

2) Open a Connection to Access - I recommend using ADO

3) Create a recordset based on a SQL statement that try's and finds your
Drawing Number

4) Check the Recordcount of the recordset - If 0 then add the drawing to the
database

Thats it. If you need more specific code for each step let me know and I
will post

No I haven't worked with Access before I usually use Excel. Thanks this
will give me a starting point.
