How to retrive data from Access file?

[Terry]

Any .dll or COM+ for .Net can help me retrive data from a Access file?
The table contain several columns and the last one is a container
which I store Article; because each article is a little bit huge, so
when I store it, it ask me if I want to pack it (the article) into a
object then I click 'Yes'. But now I need to retrive data from the
file and show it by datagrid, and now I don't know what kind of data
type it is (when I click it, it just show 'packed'). Anyone know how I
can retrive the data?

Terry,

Your question sounds as from somebody who is making an any time nicer
solution however get more and more from the goal why he started to make it
for.

So can you describe more for us what your goal is and what are the
ingredients you want to use for that.

You could use ODBC/OLEDB to get to your access your MDB database. Before
trying from your .NET app try it from any tool like WinSQL
(http://www.synametrics.com/winsql) and see how your data looks like.
