If someone had the security to enable the ODBC access, they would have enough security to save the data files themselves, burn them to a CD and take them home anyway (which seems like it would be easier than enabling the ODBC connection for remote access). Personally, I think the XML access is better than the ODBC access because you can control it (make your own logins/passwords, etc.) via the web security databases. I'm sure they will put similar flexibility into FileMaker for ODBC at some point, but at this point it's not there. - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
