I don't think I have missed something, just hopping someone else hade the same problem and found a workaround for it.

I can get it to work perfectly in DOS environment. I can get it to work perfectly well in Windows environment. But I cant mix the 2. My guess is that the DOS version is not using the ODBC driver when sconnecting, rather some internal R:BASE way, but I was just hopping I had missed something Gunnar Ekblad Kontema IT AB H�stholmsv�gen 32 S-131 30 NACKA 070 545 50 38 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David M. Blocker Sent: den 1 december 2004 15:34 To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: SCONNECT I am surprised to hear you say this - I do an SCONNECT from one R:Base database to another R:BASE database in R:Base for windows 7.1 and can select the data, create temporary views linking the data in one table in database A with another in database B, etc. What do you mean by a "DSN Name or Dynamic SCONNECT" - that could be the difference. In my case, the user adds the database to the list of available Sytem DSN's on a given machine using WIndows XP administrative tools and it works fine David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gunnar Ekblad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 4:29 AM Subject: [RBG7-L] - SCONNECT > Is there a way to execute SCONNECT and SATTACH so the attached table is > visible both in 7.1 Win and 7.1 DOS? > In DOS I SCONNECT with the dbname directly and in win the attached table > shows on list but I can select the information. > In Win I SCONNECT with a DSN-name (or a dynamic SCONNECT) and the > attached table shows on list but the information can not be selected. > The reason why I want this is that it gives me the possibility to step > by step conversion Win 7.1 instead of a big bang! > My present understanding is that this can not be done!
