>I am looking for a light-weight database engine written entirely in VB. I write utilities in VB frequently, and I need easy data access with query support. (Sql-like) The engine need not be industrial strength, only small and easy to use. Anybody know of such freeware or shareware. I'd hate to write the code if it already exists.


For really simple data access, use the data control which comes with VB. For anything not as simple, use DAO, i suggest avoiding data control. Check the data access example which comes with all VB versions, & uses biblio.mdb database (access type) & does all various type of things with it.
