This is very interesting --
I am trying to attatch tables from Oracle 7 on UNIX (Dynix PTX) to a ms-access on a PC. I am using WFWG 3.11, Access 2.0, SQL*NET 1.1, and Netware IPX/SPX. So far, no luck getting this to work. I thought my problem was with the ODBC installation/definition.  

Chris, could you elaborate on the SQLNet incompatibility with WFWG? And is this SQL*Net for Windows or DOS?   Received on Wed Jun 08 1994 - 16:33:17 CEST
