<br><tt><font size=2>The manual says we can do this, but I am struggling.<br>
<br>
We are trying to connect to an access database on a windows machine via
<br>
our linux server. The db is lionheart.mdb and it is in a folder dvam. We
<br>
have mapped the folder dvam on the linux server and can see the db <br>
within it.<br>
<br>
We are then trying to use this string, with no result at all:<br>
<br>
odbc_connect("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; <br>
DBQ=\\dvam\lionheart.mdb", "", "","SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC");<br>
<br>
thanks, alan dunn<br>
