If you know (or agree to learn) Python programming language I cannot resist to recommend you to try Gadfly. It is SQL engine written entirely in Python, and thus it is portable to any platform where python exists (DOS/Windows/UNIX/Mac/etc). It is free, it is small and simple, but powerful enough to use it even in commercial projects. To speed things up some internal parts had been rewritten in C, but I don't know how this work on NT (on UNIX it is pretty good). http://www.chordate.com/gadfly.html > > jeff Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://members.xoom.com/phd2/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN. ************
