Is it possible to link Autocad to MS Access?

I want to modify text attributes associated with a block based on the input into an access database. I've read I could link the two using DBConnect, but so far all I've gotten is the Data View - Summary. Not sure where to go from there.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Look at using the DATAEXTRACTION command, the DBConnect is a little outdated and has a lot of issues depending on 32/64 bit OS and MS Office versions.

Hi Murph_map,

Thanks for responding! I've used the DATAEXTRACTION command, which created a table listing the block attributes and saved it as an Access file (.mdb) -- but when I made changes to the Access file, the Autocad drawing (specifically the block attributes) wouldn't update. Is there another way?
