Thanks for the response. 

Here is a followup question, to verify I am asking my question clearly.

What I am trying to do is:

List  MYLocalFILE  where MyRemoteKey = "X" MyRemoteData

where the MyLocalfile is a local unidata mv file.  
MyRemoteKey is a dict item that references the remote SQL table on the
network.
MyRemoteData is a dict item that returns the value from the remote SQL
table.

The clients would not have any software installed, just the server only.

Would this need to be done in a datatel subroutine?

Thanks!

Kris Stevens

Yes, BCI is the tool.  If you're on Unix, you also need to have an ODBC 
manager.  Being on 64-bit HP-UX (which makes it hard to find compatible 
OTS software), we ended up using EasySoft's ODBC-ODBC bridge (they made 
a custom port to HP-UX for us), which is working great.

Best,
