[Jim Lawrence]

Thanks for all the information. I would assume its performance is stellar.

The plugin actually runs on FireFox :-) ...very handy.

I do a lot of work with SQLite.   My favourite tool for working with it (design and data 
manipuation) is the Firefox extension SQLite Manager:

 There are a few SQLite ODBC drivers available if you want to access SQLite from Access 
etc.  Both commercial and freeware

Here's one released under a BSD-type licence: http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/
