Dear friends:

How can I open a databese file in Database Toolkit?! I have a Sequence Data.mdb, but I can't to open it...

Thank you.

You need to create a connection string, a UDL file or a DSN file.

This is done in Control Panel>>Administrative Services>>ODBC Data Sources.

Try looking at the examples in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) to see more.

Hi tst:
I'm new in Database... I know how to create a *.mdb file, but I don't know to create a connection string, a UDL file or a DSN file... please help me.

Read my last answer - go to where I mentioned and read the help there. You can create a DSN file pointing to your DB. Also, LOOK AT THE EXAMPLES.

To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

Hi Clecio,
under control panel > Administrator Tools>Data Souces

Open ODBC Data Source Administrator> File DSN

The rest is straight forward.

As TST suggested read the examples, also skim the Database connectivity manual. It pays dividends

Like you, I  have just started in databases, only 2 hrs for the basic functionality.

You can also go here.

This is the LV Database connectivity toolkit manual, which has some very good information in it.  If you are looking for some more advanced queries using sql, try these links.
