To use ODBC, on is accessing (pun intended) a non open source database, i.e., you gots to pay M$. This means for someone to write an open source library, they are aiming it at people who are trying to AVOID paying for M$ products OR use products where the technical support leaves a lot to be desired and there's no control over problems in the product. Pretty incompatible. Which is not to say someone wouldn't do it, there's always a NEED for that in individual cases like yours, but there's not much of a MARKET, I would guess. Dennis Gearon.
