One thing that should be kept in mind - Approach is not "ODBC friendly" at
all - and a product I would not recommend to anyone. I've always had
problems with it - some drivers work well with it - mostly the PC drivers
such as FoxPro and Access, but the drivers for the bigger databases tend to
be problematic.
I'm not saying that any driver - ODBCLink, Linkway, ODBC32, ODBCLink/SE -
will not work - as a matter of fact, they all work with most tools - but
this goes two ways - the application needs to be "fully" ODBC complaint -
and Approach is not...
