Just FYI, ODBC specs is very similar to JDBC, except that ODBC is in C whereas JDBC is in java.

Can it access "mysqlitedb.db" IIRC, I did read about "Linked Servers" in MS-SQL-Server documentation where, if your SQL Server is being used in an NT domain setting then you can create "Linked Servers" - which means that you can "link-in" different databases having ADO wrappers. MS-Access is NOT a database server but I think I did read that you could link in MS-Access databases to your SQL Server process. Though I am NOT sure but I think someone did mention ADO wrappers pertaining to Sqlite and I would suggest that you give that a shot. -- Best, Asif - To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
