They look like exactly what I was hoping to find. So does the SQLeo application which is referenced from the UCanAcccess website. I kind of skipped over them at first: my bad. My excuse is that I'd been searching for ODBC/JDBC drivers earlier and had only found expensive paid- for offerings (the same price or more than Access itself) that all targeted Access the database server rather than reading the file directly as I now see that Jackcess does. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
