Hi

I'm using VS 2003 to create a database application connecting to an Access
database through OleDb.
I've used the OleDbDataReader many times to populate comboboxes or treeviews
but only accessed one table at a time into the result set. No problem.

To be more efficient with the connection I would like to read several tables
at once by combining the sql select commands and using the datareader
NextResult to read each table in turn.
I can see examples of sqlDataReader doing this but not OleDbDataReader.
e.g.
"SELECT Name, Age FROM tbl_Employees; SELECT Sales, Qtr FROM tbl_Region"
I've tried this with and without the ';' separator but without success.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Keith,

I don't believe Access supports multiple SQL statements like SQL Server does.
