Vantage and setting up Access

Yahoo Archive

After you have ODBC configured open Access. Choose New Table, Link
Table. Change Files of Type to ODBC Databases. Choose your Data
Source name. A list of Vantage Tables will appear, choose the ones
you want to connect. Then the tables will appear in Access. After
that I always create a Make Table Query to create an Access Table
from the Linked Table with the fields I want to use, it will improve
performance by not using a live linked table to create reports.
You'll wait a little while the tables are made, but the reports will
run instantly. After I have Access tables for each linked table,
then I create whatever queries and reports I need.

Hi to all,

I would like to set up Access using the ODBC connection.
First I want to know the risks of writing to Progress Vantage.
I think all I have to do is link to the Merant driver for Vantage.
All of the tables should be visable, I should then be able to
create a querry then a report.
Does this sound right or am I missing something?

Thanks,
