RE: [INTERFACES] Access 2000 and ODBC

Interestingly enough, this thread is also very active on the MySQL mailing
list. It seems that ACCESS 2000 has a bug that makes many ODBC datasources
read only. Some MySQL tables linked to Access 2000 via ODBC are read/write
and some are not. Note that if the tables are converted to Foxpro tables
(use same column types) then Access has no problem. Hopefully Microsoft
will pay attention.
