Well, she told me the drivers were read-only. My skepticism caused me to test the Access driver and though she claimed it was read-only, it wasn't (which wasn't a surprise to me). She said they had tried to get the OLE DB driver to work, but had not been able to. I wasn't working with them at that point. I'm going to encourage her to give that another try. I should be able to help out and I'd be surprised if we couldn't get it working. Thanks for your help.
