Re: ODBC Data sources - how to unlock an old .INF file?

I'll try that. However, This wouldn't easily (without writing my own
application) allow me to export the content in a format subsequently
readable by a different application. Ideally, I want to simply allow (i.e.
configure) the existing application to attach to the data file using ODBC
(data sources, rather than the .inf file) and use the funtionality in it to
do the export.
Thanks for the suggestion.
