[Sunhelp] Information about Sun and NT

[Jarrett m Carver]

If you are'nt using an SQL server it may require more of a programming solution.
I have not worked with mdb databases in that way, only MSSQL and Sybase, both
have clients that can be used to connect to the database.

Have you looked into using something like mySQL? It is a good freeware SQL server
that may solve your problem.

Sorry I can't be of more help :-(
