Isn't the point of ODBC that it allows connections between any two
databases that support it? Therefore there's no "ODBC driver for MS
Access." I believe Office98 includes ODBC extensions which I think are to
allow connections between Excel and databases. Perhaps Mac databases can
take advantage of them. Filemaker Pro 4.1 has some ODBC support but does
not include a full-fledged ODBC extension set. You could look at their site
for info on 3rd party ODBC software.
