Can you try Takusen from the darcs repo? It was at darcs.haskell.org, but now Ian's temporarily moved all the non-ghc projects to http://old-darcs.well-typed.com/, and I haven't found the time to move it to code.haskell.org. I tested with Access and made a bunch of changes to the ODBC driver. It works for me :-) The ODBC tests all pass with Access. Could you run them and see how you get on? To build and run the tests: You probably need to edit the cabal file and comment out modules in the Other-modules: section for the backends that you don't have, and edit the imports and backendTests function in Main.hs. To build the tests you say: setup configure -fbuildtests setup build You will find takusen_tests.exe under dist\build\takusen_tests. Run with this command line: takusen_tests odbc noperf DSN=takusen "" "" (noperf just means "don't run the performance tests, just the functional tests") This assumes you have created an ODBC DSN called takusen, which points to an Access database.
