Gil, Did you mean to say PROGRESS instead of PostgreSQL? Re-read my post. I'm not looking to connect to PostgreSQL, but PROGRESS. My client has it, probably as part of his MAS 200 package (which he's not happy with, and said "I can't tell you how much I've spent on this thing" --- and I know I could have built his something to serve his needs for far LESS I'll bet!). _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4840.69.251.251.31.1235136254.squir...@webmail.dssco.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
