Thanks. The developer cheerily informs me that Access is 'deprecated' and will be phased out. So, SQL it is. I'm not sure what you mean by 'passthrough'. Do you mean MYSQL   | ODBC   | Win app ? If so, where do I go to learn how to configure MySQL and ODBC to dance together nicely, and talk

No way to do that directly; however, using the MySQL ODBC connector you can get at least a) and c) to play passthrough. Performance will likely suffer, though; especially Access' Jet Engine has a tendency to pull in full remote datasets instead of passing through the query. On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at
