As much as I don't like MS, I don't like to see them bashed for no fault of theirs. MS-Access works just fine under OS/2 2.0 GA+SP and under OS/2 2.1 when run in full-screen mode. It doesn't work in seamless mode though. You must have some other problem that is not related to MS-Access. -- Avi (avi@shell.portal.com or avi@cup.portal.com)
