Jim: Isn't pass-through connections just ODBC? With good routers at each end of the connections you should not have any corruption. The banks use Cisco router and they have no lost packets... The Cisco router does the encryption, manages the network and monitors the packet flow. If a packet drops it automatically requests a resend. Even if a remote server or connection goes down the router just re-routes to another connection and/or server. This type of system takes all corruption concerns out of transactions.

Pass through queries, OTOH, have always worked well for me since the heavy lifting is done on the host machine and only the result set is delivered to Access.

These hookups would be up to 1000 miles from his office. He wants to use an Access ODBC driver via the Internet to enable Access querying. He has asked me to check this out as to the whys and wherefores. Help!!!!!. Is it possible to do this? Any books/articles on this topic?
