Thanks, chief.
I just reviewed my Word2K VBA book. Apparently, OLEDB can actually use an ODBC driver, besides the specific OLEDB ones provided by Oracle or whoever. Have you tried this at all?

Interesting stuff. One wonders: why use specific report writer tools when the best possible report writer is already operational in one's PC and ready to go to the nearest db? ;)
