Do a search for VBA + DAO

I think DAO is the easiest way to write to mdb files.

 

Like this (from memory):

 

Dim db as DAO.Database

Set db = OpenDatabase (Your filename her)

Dim tbl as Table

Set tbl = db.OpenRecordset(?)

 

Then you can add records etc.

You can also create new tables and create new databases (mdb files).

 

This is just my suggestion.

DAO is old fashioned according to Microsoft, but I find it easer to use than newer libraries (ADO?).

 

To find the attribuest in AutoCAD you can do a "For each Obj in ActiveDocument.Modelspace" if that doesn´t take too long. Search for examples using the GetAttributes method of the BlockReference object.

 

I hope this can lead you in the right direction :-)
