Message: [QUOTE="Martin Gregorie, post: 3403063"] Just because a data source isn't SQL-based or relational doesn't mean there isn't an ODBC driver for it. You can write one for any data structure that can be treated like a 2D array provided you're willing to do the work to map SQL statements onto it. Various people have done this, so you can find ODBC drivers for Excel, cvs and text files as well as various indexed file structures (dBase, anybody?) and non-relational databases such as IDMS. There is at least one Paradox ODBC driver. DataDirect <[URL]http://www.datadirect.com[/URL]> supply one. They look like a good resource if you need ODBC drivers for a variety of data sources. I have no connection with them: just had 'em bookmarked for quite a while. [/QUOTE]
