I have a task of connecting autoCAD versions 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 ,2010 and last but not least 2011 to a Microsoft Access database.
Is there one VB or one VB.net method that will allow all of the versions to connect to a microsoft database to populate it with details from the title block being extracted, and appended to the database?
Also I have no knowledge about AutoCAD only Microsoft Databases.
Given then I have an Access 2003 Database sitting on a server and a VB project is there one declaration that will allow it to be used on all the above versions and open a AutoCAD session on individual desktops to extract the title block information?
Will one autoCAD type library call reference do all.
In access if you rference say access 2000 library a 2007 access will open it and re reference its library - does this happen with autoCAD?
Is there a help for idiots like me that drew the short straw.
Once I have the VB how do I go about using it in AutoCAD?
All I have to do is take the title block information from any of the AutoCAD versions above that has a drawing open and append it to an Access database. Once its there no problems, its using autoCAD to get it there.
Any pointers in the right direction appreciated, so far I have found very little solid info on the net.
