Hello all,Mac OS X or Mac < 9?
I am developing an application that makes a real estate magazine from text
data in an MS Access database. The layout part is already working - I'm
using AppleScript to communicate with Adobe InDesign.
But the ODBC connection gives me a headache. I can connect RR to the
database on a Windows PC, but than I cannot use the AppleScript part there.
Is it possible to connect with ODBC to a local MS Access database on a Mac?
How?
OS X jaguar comes with the iODBC driver manager. Tuviah said that Rev 2.0 is going to support iODBC. Woohoo! Then you will be able to connect from Rev to MS Access running on Windows. Unless there are driver issues. Don't know.
Off topic: I would love to figure out how to get MS Excel X on a Mac connect to ODBC server, Access or otherwise. It doesn't seem possible though. Anyone think otherwise?
If it can't be done, could I connect to that Windows PC in any way? There isThat should give you access to the filesystem and printers on the Windows machine, and not much else.
a LAN connection with that PC using PC-MAC LAN 8.
