We need to create a data base under Visual C++ without a user interface.
It should be a simple DB created from a file based on normal C structures,
such as: struct A { int x; int y; CString s; }; and it should be created
from within the application itself and NOT via Microsoft Access.
We would like to be able to add records according to a specific key,
and then update them if necessary. From the help and examples we found in
Books On Line, we couldn't make out how exactly to go about it in a dialog
based application ( no docs, no views, no nothing ).
Any help would be appreciated, especially if a small example comes with it.

A nice start would be to check out the documentation for MFC's DAO database
classes and the MS Jet engine...

// create the database
CDaoDatabase    Database;

// create the table
CDaoTableDef    Table(&Database);
Table.Create(szTableName );                    

// create 2 fields
Table.CreateField( "Field 1", dbText, 20);                            
Table.CreateField( "Field 2", dbMemo, 300);
Table.Append();

// create the record set
CDaoRecordset   DaoRecordset;
DaoRecordset.Open(&Table);

// add a new record
DaoRecordset.AddNew();
DaoRecordset.SetFieldValue("Field 1", "value1 " );
DaoRecordset.SetFieldValue("Field 2", "value2 " );          
DaoRecordset.Update();                                  

DaoRecordset.Close();
Table.Close();          
Database.Close();
