Re: [MLUG] MySQL and DB access with ODBC and MS products

[Gene Worth <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Although you didn't ask for another solution, you might consider the 
FairCom products (www.faircom.com). It's a CTrieve database, with ODBC 
compliant tools, etc. I haven't used their products but they get very 
good press ... and they are a Columbia company ... with offices right 
behind UMB bank off of Forum.

And, as opposed to MySQL ... they do cost some $$$$.
