Re: Connection Problem

Well to be honest, I don't know. I need to be able to start a transation,
make query's, and then based on the results, I need to decide if I can make
the changes to the database, then commit or rollback. This was not working
with passthrough queiryes, but most likley I just don't know enouph, and
was doing it wrong. So I am trying ODBCDirect. Also I want my database to
be client independent as much as possible, so if I can bypass Jet, I would
like to.
