Now you've gone and got me curious again!

I was pretty focused on the OO syntax for accessing data that I never got that far. Are there ODBC drivers for it? > I never saw where/how the data was stored since they don't use table structures. That was one of the issues I wanted to discuss with then (does one have to write an app to see the data because you > can't double click a table?) and how to interface with VB/VBA. > Jim > -----Original Message----- > From: Gustav Brock [mailto:gustav at cactus.dk] > Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 8:58 AM > To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving > Subject: Re: [AccessD] InterSystems Caché database engine > Hi Jim > How would you judge its relevance to Access?
