I tried that, but it does not seem to help. Perhaps Access is asking
for the index information of its own accord?
I have just discovered it also objects to:
rt_url,
url,
genre,
name_en,
stored,
stored1,
address, and
server.
Note that many have succeeded. Curiouser and curiouser...
Thanks, Byron, both for your help and for what looks like it will be a
really useful driver. If only the whole planet didn't use Access...
