Title: Talking to an Access database via Lisp
Post by: jawf on May 24, 2004, 01:56:50 AM

I am needing to use Lisp to get info from an external MS Access database. Can anyone point me in the right direction with code, suggestions, reading material, etc? I know that I can use VB to get there, but I would rather not go that way.  Thanks.

Jawf, try have a look at Jon Fleming's ADOLISP library at fleming-group.com (http://www.fleming-group.com/ConsultingIndex.htm). He's written some cool database tools (among other neat stuff).
