if your users need queries only, you might check out corereader. it's a free download from http:/www.corereader.com/ .
it's a point and click solution for any data source, so the only hard part is the initial data connection. it has built-in security to prevent updates, so if your people need more than queries, it won't work. the nice part, in addition to the point and click queries, is that it'll work with any of your data sources, including access. > Hi David, Adam, > > On Wed, 2002-09-25 at 10:37, David Lloyd wrote: > > > Obviously MySQL would have advantages if I intended to use it as a server > > > database with concurrent users.
