I'm only playing around with the trial version of Livecode at the moment, but one of the uses I have in mind is to create a mobile (ios & Android) data entry for an existing MSAccess database.
The Access database is split with the data stored in a .mdb file
Is it possible to access records directly from the .mdb if the .mdb is copied to the device?
Thanks

Re: Access .mdb on mobile
Hi ddaddy,
MS Access databases are accessed through ODBC drivers,
if I remember right, and they are not (yet) supported by LiveCode iOS.
Only SQLite and MySQL are currently supported.

Re: Access .mdb on mobile
Many thanks for the reply.
I guess an alternative method would be to have my access front end export some of the data into a format that could be used on the iOS elbefore going into the field, then have it transfer and convert it back.
