RIGHT. WELL. That's just the sort of thing that gets the blood boiling for a solution. Don't you hate it when a vendor blames the operating system you love for their inability to do things properly in the first place? :-)
Anyhow, as Mike said and my experience is showing, it's not MYOB per se that's the problem, it's this ODBC driver using the MYOB file as a system DSN. What i really need at this stage is some way of monitoring the locking requests, or whatever it is that's going on, and working out why it seems to work OK under myob but not odbc... i can provide a tethereal sniff if anyone wants to have a look, but if there's a linux tool that will help me have a look at it in any other way, i'd love to know.
nothing like the challenge of proving windoze apologists wrong, ay folks. ;-)
cheers,
..S.
Can't remember the outcome tho'
