Dear Dr. Razzak,
Well, I revisited that FTE and I guess I am still confused. To me it looks like you still have to have an R:Base or Oterro ODBC driver in the using computer. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this on a network without doing something to that remote PC. This is problematic with 200-300 PCs. We are distributing "icons" from the network with shortcuts on them to remote PCs. R:Base is not installed on those PCs, we either use Runtime or that FABULOUS compiler. Am I all wet here in Ohio???? Or did I shovel too much snow?
In any event, solving my RTF question earlier made my weekend.

Bob,
Using the latest R:BASE 7.1/7.5, you can achieve the same
goal by using the DSN-Less connection feature.

Thanks for making R:BASE a part of your world.
The BEST is yet to come!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
