Just a quick question, is it possible to read and write to a Microsoft Access database using basic C? if so what is a basic method of doing this.

If you know the file structure of Access... sure. After all, Access is written in C or C++. You're better off using the Windows API to connect to ODBC, in my opinion. You can then issue SQL commands for your updates.

No unfortunately I'm not sure on the Access structuring system. The SQL idea sounds good, I'm relatively new to C using to access databases and was wondering if it is possible to get a sample structure of this implementation.

Unfortunately, the Windows API is not my strong suit (it's not even in my hand :) ). You can find a lot of tutorials and other information on it with Google, however.
