As of version 10.1 Macro Scheduler now has native database functions built-in.
If you are using an older version of Macro Scheduler, or still wish to use VBScript to access database sources, such as Microsoft Access, you'll need to use ADO. We've created a quick guide to help you get started with accessing ODBC databases with Macro Scheduler and VBScript. Click here to view the "How To" guide.
