General Help needed. I am new to this. I was wondering what the best way to interface with a Microsoft Access Database would be. I am going to be using PerlScript to generate DHTML to make an online work-order system for the IT department and the building engineers. I just wanted to ask for a small example or two of how to create a recordset object and how to access it's data.
