Install ODBC, that would let you interface with degenerate database formats as access et al. Your best solution however would be to ditch Access and go a decent database solution, one that doesn't tend to break under load (and doesn't impose strange limitations on itself with regards to throughput). (on a totally different not, I'd ditch FP extensions aswell, as they've proved to be a bit of a nightmare on the security front in the past, don't know how they're doing at the moment, but anything that tries to imitate something undocumented is a no-no in my production environments). -- Andreas D Landmark / noXtension Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
