You need to have your ODBC datasource setup on your computer because Classwizard will open the database and let you specify which table you want the class to be bound to, and then will create class data members that correspond to the different fields of the table. It's nice, you don't even have to write the class, you can just use it and read the data out of it. To learn more go read the MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.htm) The information you need is under Visual Studio 6.0 Documentation/Visual C++ Documentation/Reference/Microsoft Foundation Class Library and Templates/Microsoft Foundation Class Library/Class Library Reference/CRecordset If you're not using MFC, then you can use OLE DB, which you can also find under the MSDN under Visual Studio 6.0 Documentation/Visual C++ Documentation/Reference/Microsoft Foundation Class Library and Templates/OLE DB Templates.
