so did anyone ever come up with the be-all-and-end-all solution to: "I have a linux webserver" "I have an NT box running an ODBC data source" "I need to have the linux box speak ODBC to the NT box" because I certainly have not. Here is my guess, which I'm testing that the moment: -Setup your NT machine with, say, Filemaker Pro w/ ODBC. -Setup a system DSN on the NT machine -Somehow try and connect from another local windows box to verify that it works (uh, fuzzy) -If you are reasonably confident that it is working, setup OpenLink's product (because iODBC seems to be entirely useless?) and hope that their configuration instructions work... Then run a bit of PHP that tries to connect to the DSN which has been defined on the linux machine. correct? _a
