Well, I've used MS Access (I was a database programmer for a while), but always using native DB's, never used the SQL option EVER. However, if you load the SQL access kit that comes with Access (ODBC?), it should allow you to access the database on a FreeBSD box (assuming they can agree on the SQL syntax :-( ) The problem than is that you have to re-write your DB in Postgres. After using Access for a long time I realise that will not be a nice task :-( Has anyone ever used Samba (or similar) to access the Microsoft SQL server system running on a PC from FreeBSD? That (in theory) should be possible also... although it might take a bit of work re-writing or adding bits onto Samba. Gary
