Hi Doug,

Yes DataExpress with the UDALink* option will access Image without the need for
Image/SQL ... If you plan on doing more fancy things in the future like using
Stored Procedures or Triggers you will want Image/SQL. We do work with
Image/SQL and AllBase as well as KSAM, MPE files decribed by DataExpress File
Definitions and Powerhouse dictionaries ... for more info see our web page at
http://www.MBFoster.com ...

*UDALink - Microsoft in is wisdom has come up with yet another method of
accessing data - The overall scheme is called Universal Data Access (Thus
UDALink) ... it includes OLE-DB and ODBC; we have been using OLE-DB technology
in our crossplatform joins (example Sun to NT and HP3000) so decided to rework
the data access technology ... it includes all the ODBCLink stuff and more!

To write me you will need to drop the NOSPAM added to the address.
