Hi,

do you use the original Microsoft ODBC Drivers for Access and 
Excel ? A lot of people reported problems to me when trying
to connect WHFC to an access database. 

We have done here some tests with WHFC and other software
which should use an access database via the MS ODBC Drivers
and run into a lot of problems.

After switching to an other ODBC Driver (SCO SQL retreiver)
all the software works without any problems ...

So acutally i don't know who to blame, Microsoft or my 
programming skills.

Uli
