Re: director with access

As others have suggested, there are several commercial Xtras available 
that will let you work with a MS Access database. I thought I would 
suggest another option for your consideration.

The very talented and generous Valentin Schmidt has made a free Xtra for 
SQLite databases. Get the extra here 
http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/xtras/sqlite/ Be sure to get the SQLite 
browser from his tools folder or from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/

SQLite is not the most powerful database, but it is still quite useful 
and itself is free as well as open source. You can learn more about 
SQLite here http://www.sqlite.org

Now Valentin's xtra will not work with your access database, but you 
probably can export the database to a CSV file, and then import it into 
SQLite. Not that the commercial Xtras are all that expensive, but if 
cost is an issue at all it may be worth your time looking into it. Also 
I like to support open source software whenever I can.

Good luck.
