I know of one ISP near me that did it that way.. > Because we do NT hosting as well, the above has never been a problem for us, however I *do* believe that you can accomplish the above by using ODBC for Unix. I'm pretty positive that Unix (and hopefully FreeBSD) ODBC drivers exist out there somwhere. If such is the case, then you could setup 1 NT box running MSSQL and Access, then use Unix ODBC drivers to link the two. Of course I've never tried this, anyone else out there maybe has? ----- Sumbry][ | Affinity Hosting | http://affinity.net | sumbry@affinity.net "Run, run, fast as ya can, ya can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man."
