Hello and help!!

I'm meeting with a client tomorrow about possibly developing an access or
apsx app from an existing visual basic database application (done in-house,
developer baled out and left them holding the bag). Trouble is I don't know
the first thing about how to look at or connect to their data.

Can I connect to their app with an Access ODBC or adp or if not how else can
I get into the backend to see their raw data and ultimately export it to
Access or SQL?

Many thanks,

Mike
 
There's an excellent chance that the VB app is using ODBC to connect to
the back end database - and a good chance that the database engine is
Jet or maybe a flavour of SQL server.
