You can connect directly to the Access data bases using ODBC. Alternatively, depending on the complexity of the databases you can change the databases over to the native OO format and access them entirely within OO. If your databases are really big, the way to go might be to use an open-source database program such as MySQL to do the database handling and again within OO connect to it via ODBC -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
