In addition to any replies you might receive or already received, you may find more
information or responses by posting future connectivity related questions in the
following discussion group:
Web browser: <http://discussion.autodesk.com/forum.jspa?forumID=16>
Newsreader: <news://discussion.autodesk.com/autodesk.autocad.connectivity>
All other things being equal, VBA is probably the easiest. There are examples using
ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) (and the older and not-recommended Data Access Objects
[DAO]) in the newsgroup noted above and in the autocad.customization.vba newsgroup,
such as

It's fairly straightforward to do in LISP also, if you use my ADOLISP library from the
download page at http://www.fleming-group.com.
It's a good idea to do it with SQL ... you probably don't need to be an SQL expert to
just insert information. There's several examples in the documentation and examples of
ADOLISP.
There's lots of ADO documentation; see
