I am very new to programming so I don't know very much about it at all. I have a program written in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 in C# which takes selected information from a bunch of different databases and compiles it into one datagrid. I am now supposed to add the option to save the information shown in the datagrid as a *.mdb file so the user will be able to view their results later in Access instead of having to go through the program again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Thank you
