Re:<< Using VC++ and the ODBC connection classes (RecordSets) you can get at any ODBC compliant database. >>
Not to be overly pedantic, but ODBC itself does not have any connection classes. The API was written in C, and there are ODBC wrappers that are included in MFC.
If you want a lightweight C++ ODBC wrapper class, goto Windows Developer Magazine (http://www.wd-mag.com) and d/l January's code. In there you'll find a zip file by guisando containing the class. It's light, and seems to be pretty solid.

Re:Any mail program is free to use any format they want, I believe Outlook and Outlook Express use the same PAB files but I wouldn't think Eudora does. Some have an option to query a LDAP server, but that's about as inconvenient as a database server to normal users =)

Re:You do not need a database server.
Using VC++ and the ODBC connection classes (RecordSets) you can get at any ODBC compliant database.
The problem is when you wish to look at the database and/or propigate outside of your program.
Then you need some type of database front end.
Use Visual studio to create a project that has database support. The wizard will setup the proper headers for you.
Main class for ODBC is CRecordSet

Re:You should be able to use ODBC to work with any database that has an ODBC driver.
