  • I think you are using PHP. I used access 2007 file as database. I'm working on Windows XP with XAMPP's apache server. Create your database file and try this :
    1. First enter to --> Control Panel > Administartive Tools > Data Sources(ODBC) > System DSN > Add.. > Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb,*.accdb) and show your access file. Give name to the connection.
    2. Then write in your .php file this code:
    <?php
    $host= "Name_You_gave_to_connection";
    $user= "";
    $pass= "";
    $db=odbc_connect($host,$user,$pass); //connect to access file as database

    if (!$db) //In case if you didn't connect , you'll get an error message
    {
    echo "Can't connect";
    exit;
    }

    $query = "SELECT * FROM table_name";
    $row = odbc_exec($db, $query);
    while(odbc_fetch_row($row)
    {
    $row1 = odbc_result($row,1);
    $row2 = odbc_result($row,2);
    $row3 = odbc_result($row,3);
    echo $row1." ".$row2." ".$row3."<br>";
    }
    ?>
