Open an Access Form from LabVIEW.

I would like to open an Access form from LabVIEW to import/export data into/from LabVIEW.

Can anybody give me an example ?

Thanks in advance.

I've always skipped the forms in Access and just used LabVIEW to connect directly to a database. You can create a form in LabVIEW that looks the same. I would think that the only way to use an Access form is through ActiveX and that's a lot more work than using ADO and SQL. NI sells the Database connectivity toolkit or you can try LabSQL from Jeffrey Travis. A huge advantage of either of these approaches is that they execute a lot faster than ActiveX and you don't have to install Access everyplace that you want to talk to a database. Finally, it becomes a lot easier to move to a more robust database like Oracle or SQL Server if and when you outgrow Access.
