no, postgresql is a database back-end and can only work directly on it's own back-end files. Contrast to access which is both a database front-end and back-end; the access front-end can talk to other database back-end's via odbc. With that said, you can convert back-end database files from access to postgresql, one such program that does this is pgadmin (pgadmin.postgresql.org). hth, Robert Treat -- Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
