Yes, MS Windows has included a SQL Server ODBC driver. But, if i remember correct, then you need more current ones if you want to use special features of the news SQL Server versions. We are still using the builtin ones, as our SQL Servers still are run in 2005 compatibility mode. I am not sure this is the correct expression, but i am sure you know what i mean.
It´s a pity that LC does not have built-in MSSQL drivers which allow to directly communicate with the MSSQL Server without the need of ODBC. It would make so much things easier. > The Mac does not.
