>Ehhh... a little mess never hurt anyone ;) So I take it I could setup an ODBC password on my dbc that would keep users from going around my automation server? Hmmm... then as far as protecting from direct network access, Excel doesnt list a dbc file type. Do you happen to know if Access can read a dbc directly?
Yes on the ODBC password.
Yes on Excel not natively rreading a DBC without ODBC.
Yes on Access not being able to read DBCs natively (also ODBC).
