MSAccess works mostly fine with Wine/CodeWeaver. However MSAccess is know to not be very reliable when multiple clients access the same mdb file. It seems to me that it is even worst when accessing it with Wine (mdb get corrupted on a regular basis). So I'd say MSAccess is ok if only one client access it at the same time. However you may try to trash the Jetdirect db engine and put a MySQL + odbc instead, migth be more reliable, but that is more Wine than ltsp oriented. cheers, Denis > > Bob > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
