Re: ODBC connection to mdb for MacIntosh

I found this link, but I was unclear which of their products was supposed to
allow you to connect to an access database that was resident on the Mac.
There was one that looked like it would work if the DB was on a PC server,
but that's not what I'm looking for.

Could you be more specific as to which product you're meaning?

Thanks;

Amy
