Talking to an Access database via Lisp
« 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. He's written some cool database tools (among other neat stuff).

Heh, hi Kerry
I'm sure Jon Fleming won't mind multiple referrals ... of the nice kind
