    Are you asking if it possible to use a database file or a live connection to a database?

    I'm not sure how you would go about using the database file. I would think the theory behind the method would be the same, but the implementation would depend on the type of database file it is (MySQL, MSSQL, Access, etc...). You would have to understand the format, header, and any encryption of the file to be able to do this. You would have to strip the header and footer of the file and then parse the file to break it into rows and columns. The amount of work to do this seems to be more than it would be worth.

    Now, if you wanted to use a database connection, that would be pretty easy. What is the programming environment and language that you are using? What kind of menu are we talking about (navigational menu, dropdown menu, etc...)?

    ASP (VBScript) Example
    CSS Menu

    ASP.Net (VB.Net) Example
    Tree Menu (with C# example too)
    Pulldown Menu (works for all .Net)

    ASP.Net (C#) Example
