Added note: from Windows 2.2.1 the sample Northwind.mdb file opens without a single hitch. All the tables are available, etc., etc. This appears to be a linux (and possibly MAC) issue. If I get time tomorrow I'll search the bug database and see if I can find anything. Tested in linux 2.2.1 & latest 2.3rc1Dev - neither work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
