the answer to your question is yes.
however, what you're considering is a complex technical exercise while it's being set up. after you get it going, it'll work like a charm, but your technical people will need to know what they are doing. corereader is a ms. windows app and one of its purposes is to reduce some of the pain involved in experimenting with data connections and queries. it will query any data source on any platform with simple point and click queries, but making the connection is difficult. if you want it, it's free from its own site, http://www.CoreReader.com/ the documentation on the site will give you some idea of a few of the problems involved. it's easy to operate, but the concepts involved are complex, so please read the documentation. > "William R.
