Yup, guilty as charged. > provide an update on where he is with this. I don't have any way > of testing the changes he made, so you'll have to work with him to I have publically visible mercurial repo here:- http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-odbc/rev/eb192fd4cd54 with my changes it based on an earler Dabo. You should be able to download a tgz or zip file of the repo at that point. The main chnages to the Dabo core only involved adding a 'driver' and 'DSN' setting to the cnxml file , Connection editor , ConnectionInfo class. I'm not currently working on it as I ve not further need for this, the project it was for had it scope changed which meant it was no longer required. Having said that it worked for waht I need it to do, and did I manage to get an number of forms written (and working) for the properitary driver I was using. You will almost certainly need to make some changes for access since ODBC is a quite a leinient specification. TTFN -- Roger. Home| http://www.sandman.uklinux.net/ Master of Peng Shui.
