Hi Don,

To make life a little more complicated:
There are at least two other popular ways to connect to
Access databases, being :
1. Opus DirectAccess at http://www.opus.ch
2. DAOConnect, at http://www.xeaglex.com

I'm still evaluating the first one, which is a tedious job for me,
'cos i don't know Access that well. I can say already that
the people from Opus have done a very good job documen-
ting the stuff! You get a very good idea about how the Jet-
engine works, and what it's 'quirks' and limitations are.

Anyway, let us know how you're doing...

PS: Crossposts to borland-newsgroups won't go through
due to company-newsserver limitations.
