Connect to MS Access using Tkinter

Python Help
1

I am trying to create a GUI using tkinter and I know how to connect to MS access but how do I connect to it using tkinter with a file open button. If anyone could point me in the right direction.

I’m new to tkinter myself, so I’ve yet to create a working app that uses file access, but I’ve started to gather some info and put this together as tester; I hope you find it of use.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import filedialog as fd
from tkinter.messagebox import showinfo


root = tk.Tk()
root.title('Tkinter Open File Dialog')
root.resizable(False, False)
root.geometry('300x150')

def select_file():
    filetypes = (
        ('Text files','*.txt'),
        ('All files', '*.*')
    )

    filename = fd.askopenfilename(
        title='Open a file',
        initialdir='/home/',
        filetypes=filetypes)

    showinfo(
        title='Selected File',
        message=filename
    )


# open button
open_button = ttk.Button(
    root,
    text='Open a File',
    command=select_file
)

open_button.pack(expand=True)


# run the application
root.mainloop()
