OK, now I understand it a little better. My ultimate
goal is to extract some data from some GIS files and
import them into MySQL. So it looks like I'm going to
be using ODBC to connect a software program called
GeoClient (which I haven't begun to figure out yet) to
another program called ArcExplorer (which isn't
working for me).
This should be interesting. :)
Thanks.
