Because MFC implements DAO and ODBC differently, the documentation for each class is almost completely separate. The DAO SDK is provided on the Visual C++ CDROM, and the ODBC SDK is provided on the MSDN Library CDROM. The following table lists the next topics to read if you are just beginning to study the MFC DAO classes or the MFC ODBC classes.

For more information, see the following topics:

• ODBC and MFC

• MFC Database Documentation

• Using Database Classes with Documents and Views

• Using Database Classes Without Documents and Views

• Check the Microsoft Universal Data Access Web site at http://microsoft.com/data/ for updates to and news about ODBC and DAO.
