MS Access
Greetings, Is there anything on the Mac which will directly import MS Access files (.mdb, specifically from MS Access 97)? I have found myself in the position of having to receive a few of these on a three monthly basis, and put their contents into another database. I guess that I could set up a PC and OBDC the info from a Mac, but this would be Plan B. Cheers, Andrew Seriousness is just stupidity sent to college. - P.J. O'Rourke

Re: Testing Akamai
Hi Doug, I am not sure if this was intentional or why I found it funny, but I burst out laughing when I saw it. I am sure the other geeks on this list will have a bit of a laugh as well. Thanks anyway for doing it for me. - Matt On 25/05/2004, at 9:29 AM, Douglas Sheerer wrote: I'm with Westnet ADSL cheers Doug Traceroute has started ... traceroute to a4.g.akamai.net (203.59.140.10), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 34.144 ms 9.721 ms 8.183 ms 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * 5 * * * 6 * * * 7 * * * 8 * * * 9 * * * 10 * * * 11 * * * 12 * * * 13 * * * 14 * * * 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 * * * 19 * * * 20 * * * 21 * * * 22 * * * 23 * * * 24 * * * 25 * * - Matt

The URL gets to a certain point during loading from favourites before the spinning beach ball kicks in. Any other thoughts anyone? Cheers Neil
burning sessions?
Hey all, Quick question. A friend (and recent mac convert) just called to ask me if it's possible to burn just a session with disc burner (and not the whole disc) I use Toast and I know that does - I don't have a blank CD handy so can anyone tell me if/how this is possible? cheers, Stew -- Stewart Woods Faculty of Media, Society and Culture Curtin University of Technology Western Australia

Software Update
Hi all Recently I ran Software Update to see if the latest security update was available. It wasnt. Taking someones advice, I went to the apple site to download and install it. It installed successfully and later tested ok. However at the end of the install, Software Update launched and now in fact had the update listed which I had just installed. Not good I thought. I restarted to try and clear it; no go. So I steeled myself and proceeded with the automatic update to try and clear it. Oops, it's now listed *twice* under Installed Updates. Did anyone else manually install this update? I think it'll probably be ok but if someone knows how to straighten it out I'd be happier. I wouldnt normally be so keen to update but this had you lot all spooked so I jumped ;) Thankyou Paul

These models include Power Mac G5 machines, PowerBook and iMac models released September 2003 through March 2004, eMac 1 GHz G4 machines, or the iBook G4. The updated CD includes DiskWarrior 3.0.2 and will start up from Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Panther). Using the DiskWarrior 3.0.2 CD Update will NOT create a CD that will start up your Mac. Have fun, Shay Hi Dear WAMUG'ers, Many thanks to Shay for his suggestion and Daniel for offering to help me. I eventually downloaded the DiskWarrior update v3.0.2, and I must say that Alsoft did a very good job with their installer. It created and burnt a new bootable disk after reading my original V3.0.1, and presto! I now can boot the G5 beast without any problem. My faith in Alsoft has been restored and my computer is now back on track with its newly rebuilt directory, and I get to keep a newly burnt CD of V3.0.2. Merçi to all, Philippe C PS I'm sorry I did not check your previous posting Shay. Shame on me!
