[ale] PHP, ODBC & MSSQL

[James P. Kinney III]

Can you export the database to a real DBMS (Postgresql, Mysql, BerkelyDB
:) and ODBC it back to Access. That using it for PHP should be no
problem. 

I was going to look at what export function I saw in Access, but the
Crossover Office installation of it I have just decided to get cranky
and not run :(  

well, it IS a Micro$oft product.
