Hi Gerry:<BR>
<BR>
PowerHouse 8.41x should be able to access most ODBC source.<BR>
<BR>
I believe the ODBC driver and the database must support some version<BR>
of 'RETAIN CURSOR' or at least being able to uniquely identify a row.<BR>
<BR>
I used ODBC access to MS SQL Server with PH 8.41.D<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Peter<BR> <BR>

PowerHouse uses C-ISAM on Unix. There is an ODBC driver for Vision. Has anyone tried , or think that defining vision files in the PDL as ODBC databases might work. </SPAN></FONT></P>
