[AccessD] Rbase

David,

This is what I finally did.  It still involved the 2 hour round trip I
was trying to avoid, but I was able to get everything I needed.

Thanks,

Liz

Liz get with their Sys admin and find out if he knows where the RB
Gateway file is. The gateway was a console (in older versions of Rbase)
that allowed exports and select statements.

Hi Liz

The ODBC driver is here:

However, if an eval. is for download I can't see.

Dear List,

I have a client who is running (limping) their billing through a thing
built in Rbase 4.5 or so.  I've built them a shiny new Access system
that makes all their dreams come true.

Now for the tricky part.  Rbase will kindly allow me to download an eval
copy of their latest and greatest (7.5), but the eval version has a
charming feature:  no exports allowed.  So I can open the tables and
view the contents, but I can't make a .xls, .csv., .db or .dbf out of
what I see.

Of course my fondest wish is for a little odbc driver that would allow
me to connect to these tables from Access, but I haven't turned up one
of those anywhere.

So, short of buying Rbase (a non-trivial expense) or driving to the
client (one hour each way), has anyone got any great ideas?

Thanks,
