[in]BSTR tablename,[out,retval] _Recordset **ptr

I wanted to get into an Access DB with my C++ and jumped

into your article with interest.

However you didn't say you were developing with COM.

You didn't say you were making a DLL.

And you never said you would access the database in the end

with VB.

At the least you could rename the article to make a more realistic

and honest representation of its contents.

This is more an exercise in COM than anything else.

Neat article. I learned quite a bit from it... and accessing an ms access database via a DLL is exactly what I was wanting to do. I went through each step exactly as the author has done it. When I compile however, I get the following:
Linking...
nafxcwd.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in AdoAccess.obj
nafxcwd.lib(dllmodul.obj) : warning LNK4006: _DllMain@12 already defined in AdoAccess.obj; second definition ignored
Creating library Debug/AdoAccess.lib and object Debug/AdoAccess.exp
Debug/AdoAccess.dll : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
Error executing link.exe.
AdoAccess.dll - 2 error(s), 1 warning(s)


Not certain how to overcome this... anyone with any information on how to get this corrected would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!!
