    JDBC type 4 from VB

    My question is simple, Is there a way to execute JDBC type 4 from
    Visual Basic and/or VBA? I've searched the forum and have found no
    reference to it. We have requirements that prohibit us from using
    ODBC. Any help would be appreciated.

    There are (commercial) programs that act as a wrapper around java
    classes, so that they can be used as an activeX DLL. My guess is that
    you search for those programs and handle the JDBC functionality from
    java if you have to use JDBC.
    I don't know if you have to program for a specific database or generic
    database access. For some databases, you don't have to use ODBC, but can
    use a database driver directly. Especially MS-Access, Foxpro and DBase
    databases can be accessed through the Jet engine without using ODBC.

    Hope this helps
