Paul, For the last six months or so I've used Excel 97 with the ODBC link as a "read-only GUI." Excel allows sorting and filtering - tools that are missing from the web client. To work with Excel you must have MS Query installed as part of MS Office.
In my case, somewhere along the line of installing software and rebooting the PC, the ODBC link fixed itself. And that was with the 4.1 clients; that is the version of our server. *I* didn't "fix" anything.

When I installed it on W2K, I had to logoff and back on. Do not know why but that was the minimum restart to get it to work. I worked on it for hours. I have never been successful at using EXCEL but I have been very successful with ACCESS. What application are you trying to use to access the database. -----Original Message----- From: Coats, Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 1:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM/ODBC connection not working...
