Hey!
I was wondering when you were going to give up on Microsoft Access.
You were beating your head against the wall and it was getting bloody.
By my definition and others, Access is not a real DB.
dbAnywhere is not free. Since you have to pay something, buy
yourself a DB. Preferably not SQServer because a good
Type 3 JDBC driver for that thing costs $5000 (Merant).
Most other DBs include a Type 3 JDBC driver, subsequently,
DB + driver costs less than $5000. There are many
other reasons why you should not use SQServer. I have
experience and if you are interested send me an private E
for more reasons.
Sans adieu,
Danny Rubis
