You can find tons of ADO samples in google. There is an ADO howto here in the download section that is very helpful. It will help you create the connection and open the database. You will have to program a loop to go through the returned recordset to process the data into NAV tables.

Daniel! I have done a lot of investigation but I still can not figure out which method or property of ADO I can use to retrieve the table name from Access Database! What is the exactly name of the ADO howto do you mean?

Hi there,

Yes, I found a solution. I found there is a system table in Access which was used to save all the tabel names called systemobjects(you need to show the system obejcts first). With quering this table thorugh ADO in C/SIDE, you can retrieve the table list which exists in Access database. I think for SQL we can use the same way and it's also not a problem but I didn't try it yet.
