BridgeVIEW User Manual

In the Import Objects dialog box, choose Threads. The new table attaches
to your database.

Now you can build queries in Access that extract data directly from the
Citadel database.

Using Visual Basic with Citadel

The exact operation of Visual Basic might change from version to version.
Look in the online help for Visual Basic for how to connect to an ODBC
Data Source for the exact instructions for your version of Visual Basic.

Note

Visual Basic software relies on Microsoft Access DLLs for performing ODBC
queries. Because it uses the non-standard SQL syntax of Access, be sure that
Convert Special Characters is selected in the Citadel ODBC Setup dialog box. See
the note in the

Using Microsoft Access with Citadel

section in this appendix.
