First of all Information Access is on the way out right ? We have reached it's limits and so we're looking at ODBC and Impromptu for ad-hoc queries and/or predefined "views". Due to my obvious ignorance of ODBC, pointers to sources of information will be gladly accepted as would specific answers :) - ODBC would have to be set up on every PC. Right ? - If ODBC is set up on every PC, what's to stop a user from (ab)using ODBC i.e inserting all sorts of tables and fields in word and excel. - Would a "file" DSN help in setting up or centrally controlling ODBC access ? - How do I set up a "file" DSN in the windows95 ODBC Administrator (for the ODBCse/32 driver to an Image/SQL DB)? I need ODBCse's specific arguments don't I ? - ODBC access to KSAMs is not free:) Correct ? Thank you. Costas Anastassiades, Intracom SA Athens-Greece
