See : : http://www.mysql.org/download_myodbc.html Yes, I am familiar with this - but I can only export the actual table with that. Which is perfectly fine, but leaves me without a front-end. I like Access for it's powerful and fairly simple front-ends, my question is, is there anything like that for *nix. I didn't phrase my original question too well.. So yes, MySQL for the actual database, we all agree on that - but what for a frontend? I suppose something like php into a webpage could do it, but I really don't like the idea of being tied down to a browser, something built for being a db front-end would be better (imho) : -- : Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin : SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com : #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
