Is it QUICK on NT that would link the two ODBC drivers once it becomes 
available, or would it connect to both databases natively from an NT 
machine?  Also is C-ISAM not available on the HP3K?  If not, how does
it handle indexed subfiles, something that requires C-ISAM support on 
the HP9K?  Or doesn't it?  If it does, would I be able to export Image
data to C-ISAM files on the HP3K and FTP them accross to the HP9K?

Is powerhouse going to continue being supported on NT?  
For which databases?  Natively or via ODBC?

Regards
Victor

Hi Victor,

The only way this can be done is if the dictionary lives on a PC and uses
ODBC access to the CISAM file and ODBC access to the Image database.
PowerHouse NT has been out for a couple of years.  The only thing that has
not been there is QUICK on NT, but it is currently in beta and will be
released by the end of summer.

Is it possible to connect to C-ISAM data on a hp9k and to Image data on a
hp3k
with the same dictionary (to move data between the two without using
subfiles
or any other intermediate format)?

	1.If the dictionary is on the 9k?
	2.If the dictionary is on the 3k?
	3.If Image and the C-ISAM data is on the 3k?
