labview,rfid and microsoft access

[MAKULA]

I want to create a system that uses Labview to automatically display the information of the Radio Frequency identification tags which is stored in the Microsoft Access Database, what are the necessary steps in creating the block diagram and the user interface in labview for such a system? if there is someone who has ever prepared a system similar to that please show me how.

Hey Makula,

Check this example. It can be a good starting point.

Does your database reside on a remote/server PC? If yes, then you need to have a .dsn file which would contain the server IP address, the database name, and the column which you need to access. Once that is done, you could use the Database Connectivity Toolkit and ODBC drivers to communicate with the server database. You can retrieve the values by using the database commands using the functions which are shipped with database connectivity toolkit.

However, if you have a ,mdb file and you want to directly access the data from a local pc, the example posted in the previous link would easily solve your problem. However, you will need to put a request to upconvert this example as it is made in LV5 and won't open in recent versions of LabVIEW.

It would be worth keeping your questions to one thread... your other post seems remarkably similar (and links to an example of Microsoft Access database connection using LabSQL).

Without more details of what you are trying to do it is difficult to give your more information.
