Re: [PHP] php and databases
Or, more simply - set up an ODBC DSN on the Windows box to the MySQL database, and simply link the tables into Access.

What comes to mind first is letting them use their Access to access the MySQL tables directly through the MyODBC capabilities. It works pretty well, but will take some setup. This may prove to be the best way to "copy" an Access accessed MySQL toa native Access database. The only thing I can think of PHP helping you out here is by generating a good delimited file available for download which Access or Excel should be able to swallow whole. >- >-Bobby >- >- >- >- >- >-_ >-Surf the Web without missing calls!
