The internet was an invaluable tool in the research and development that has made TurboData the high quality and popular tool that it is today. We would like to share some of the sites with you that we found useful.

How did we do it?

TurboData was developed using Microsoft's Visual Basic.

TurboData connects to your databases via ODBC or OLE DB connections using Microsoft's Universal Data Access technology using DAO and ADO database protocols. Visit this link to download the latest Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) which contains ADO database protocols that may be used to obtain a direct connection to your database. This site also has the latest Microsoft's Jet 4.0 Service Pack which may be required on your computer to use TurboData.
