On that kind of thing, a commercial application has zero interest in supporting anything else but their product, and will probably make it deliberately hard, or impossible, to do it any other way. They want as many paying customers as possible, they don't want to lose them to anything else. Is it a case of the database has to be Access, or is it just continuing to use that product for inertia reasons? If it has to be Access, and has to work without surprise failures (third-party interfaces to proprietary software are often incomplete or buggy), the simplest solution is probably to run their software in an emulator or virtual installation. If it doesn't have to be Access, then now's the opportunity to work with something that is directly usable on all your computer systems, something that doesn't hold you captive to the claws of commercial products. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.62.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 5 16:57:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
