Hi, I would like to access a database that reside on a Windows 95 machine from within my C programs on my FreeBSD system. The database being used is Microsoft Access, and MS SQL server is available if nees be. I understand that with the SQL server component installed the database is ODBC compliant. What I would like to know is if there is any source code for FreeBSD that would allow me to access this database via the network? Has anyone out their done this? Any info would be helpful.
