Connecting to Office 2007 Access Database

• If you don't have Office 2007 or newer installed you'll need to download and install the newest Access database driver from here:

• Make a database object with the appropriate 'location' and 'name':

>> mydb = evridb('type','access');
>> mydb.location = 'C:\Users\scott\Desktop';
>> mydb.dbname = 'test.accdb';

• Test the connection, if you don't get a 1 back check the location and dbname:

>> mydb.testconnection
ans =
     1

• Get a list of the tables in the database:

>> mytables = mydb.get_access_tables
mytables =
    '~TMPCLP877991'
    'table1'
    'table2'
    'table3'

• Get a cell array of all the table data in "table1" with the first row containing column names:

>> mydb.use_column_names = 'yes';
>> mydb.return_type = 'cell';
table1Data = mydb.runquery('select * from "table1"')
table1Data =
    'id'    'filed01'
    [ 1]    'value1'
    [ 2]    'value2'
    [ 3]    'value3'
    [ 4]    'value4'
