Hello gaikwadre,

Here is a VI that should do what you want to do.  I used the Report Generation toolkit.  At the save report.vi I added a password.  The person can look at the file in a read only, but can't make changes with out the password.  Please let me know if this works.

Hello Rajendra,

There are a few ways you can open and edit an Access database.  This link describes those methods and provides a simple example.  The easiest way to do this is to use the Database Connectivity Toolkit.

Connecting to Access (Jet actually) through LabVIEW is very easy and doesn't require the purchase of anything. See the code attached to this message. It includes drivers for connecting to a database, documentation on the drivers and a description of the basics of database utilization - using Access as the test case.
