Re: [Gretl-users] GRETL connection to MS Acess database
I had a working setup some time ago.
You have to create a DSN, see for example

mdbs

What I know is that gretl has experimental support for ODBC
connections (see user guide appendix B or so), and that of
course an Access database can also be connected to via ODBC.
What I don't know is if the support is enabled in the releases
or Windows snapshots, and if the experimental state is good
enough for you.
Yes, ODBC support has been enabled in all releases and snapshots
since gretl 1.7.5. All the wisdom we have to offer on this topic
is in Appendix B of the Gretl User's Guide. This includes sample
scripts.
