There are some things you can do with Perl here. I've used DBD::ODBC to pull from/put to Access databases on one side and the appropriate DBD::XXXX module on the other side (in this case DBD::mysql) to pull from/put to the non-Access database. The systems I did this with all has Access installed. Whether that's a DBD::ODBC requirement, I don't know ... Also, if you're doing this on a non-Windows box you need to install an ODBC driver, which may not be free. ---- Steve Sapovits GSI Commerce, Inc. http://www.gsicommerce.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
