(is > it to obvious I'm just getting started?) This really isn't going to buy you anything unless you have MS Access database software there to run your database. Assuming you don't want to pay your hosting company to host your access db as well, running your own db there is not an option, and that you dont need real relational db functionality, your best bet may be to dump your database to some sort of flat file database (GDBM, NDBM, etc...) and accessing it that way. This very may well be _not_ what you want though. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > // George Schlossnagle // Principal Consultant // OmniTI, Inc http://www.omniti.com // (c) 240.460.5234 (e) [EMAIL PROTECTED] // 1024D/1100A5A0 1370 F70A 9365 96C9 2F5E 56C2 B2B9 262F 1100 A5A0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
