Re: [Firebird-odbc-devel] Firebird odbc driver not compatible withMicrosoft applications ???

[RobertoA <amo...@ti...>]

If i use an MDB file with Firebird table linked, all is right, Word accept 
the Mdb source data file and so on
Then, a first workaround is create an mdb file with table linked
But if we try to connect directly from Word to Dsn corresponding to Firebird 
data, there's no way
Thank & Bye
