You can export dbase format from Access and then use that file to update the fields in Protel
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 22 March 2002 2:57 PM To: proteledaforum Subject: [PEDA] Accessing an Access Data Base from within Protel Is it possible to write a Protel basic script that can either retrieve information from an access data base or drive an external ODBC engine (Using DDE technology?) or retrive information from an external Excell spreadsheet. What I am trying to do is update user fields in a schematic from a data base. Protel does this automatically if a dBase data base is used, but all my information is in an Access data base.
