    <p>Well, let's look at the problem from different angle... Forget about accessing database from the client-side [JavaScript]. Than what? Just use SQL Server as a web server to pull the data. It is called <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181591%28v=SQL.90%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">HTTP End Point</a>. This way you can implement data access logic on the SQL Server side (including to MS Access through any of the available interfaces). So, now SQL Server's web service returns data that can be manipulated on the client-side (AJAX) with jQuery (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/220754/best-ajax-treeview">read this for some info</a>).</p> <p>Here are some links I found for the End Point part:</p> <p><a href="http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/sql-server-endpoints-soup-to-nuts/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/sql-server-endpoints-soup-to-nuts/</a></p> <p><a href="http://mscerts.programming4.us/sql_server/sql%20server%202008%20%20sql%20server%20web%20services%20-%20building%20web%20services%20(part%201).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://mscerts.programming4.us/sql_server/sql%20server%202008%20%20sql%20server%20web%20services%20-%20building%20web%20services%20(part%201).aspx</a></p> <p>I have never implemented SQL Server End Point, so cannot tell if this is easy or not. However, I did similar in <a href="http://www.intersystems.com/cache/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">InterSystems Cache database</a> and that worked very good.</p> <p>This is how I see it anyway...</p> <p>P.S. I am a little confused with your local file approach</p>

    1. COTo clarify, my local file approach is due to a restriction which does not allow for any server side scripting. In other words, there is no available option of running this code using a web server like Tomcat/Apache/IIS/etc... Therefore my solution will be limited to something that can be run on the end users desktop. I prefer to keep the solution in a browser as to avoid having to install an executable on every users desktop. So far, I have been able to accomplish this using VBScript and a TreeView object available in IE browsers, but can't find an alternative to this using other technologies.

    3. COWell, you cannot access database or local file system directly from JavaScript. Period. And, number of up-votes for your question suggests I am not alone to be surprised to see a simple pure client-side answer

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
