Does anyone know of any good resources of begging databases, I need to read, and write new records. The database can't be reliant on acsess either.

Well? Brad,

You'll have a certain level of dependency no matter what, as not all databases follow the ANSI spec, and those that do claim to, follow it with some exceptions.

As far as I can tell, the most database-independent way to do things would be to use ADO, use forward-only cursors, don't do any record-locking, and have the user enter the connect string (or store it in the registry or something).
