Paul,

For the last six months or so I've used Excel 97 with the ODBC link as a
"read-only GUI."  Excel allows sorting and filtering - tools that are
missing from the web client.  To work with Excel you must have MS Query
installed as part of MS Office.

In my case, somewhere along the line of installing software and rebooting
the PC, the ODBC link fixed itself.  And that was with the 4.1 clients;
that is the version of our server.  *I* didn't "fix" anything.

When I installed it on W2K, I had to logoff and back on.  Do not know why
but that was the minimum restart to get it to work.  I worked on it for
hours.  I have never been successful at using EXCEL but I have been very
successful with ACCESS.  What application are you trying to use to access
the database.
