Am I just dumb or what?

Dear All, Here's the situation: we need a mobile diary. Various key staff have been issued with notebooks, and we want a simple diary which will allow for planning meetings and a central database. We also want copies of our diaries on hand when we're out of the office. So, roll on Schedule+. But instead, I thought I'd get clever and use this as an exercise in mobile computing with NewEra. It has all the components: GUI, connectivity and a local database. However, unless I've missed something, there's no way you can simultaneously access the local SE and a remote SE/OnLine. I mean, I can simultaneously connect (with ODBC) to MS Access and my OnLine server... Also, I'm told that you can't build an ODBC connection to the local database. Any ideas? If I'm right about this, all I can say is CATCH A WAKE UP INFORMIX! :-) -- Ciao, Billy +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Billy Wheeler Chief Cook and Bottlewasher The West Solutions Group | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | (E) billy@west.co.za (U) http://www.west.co.za/billy.html | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Microsoft Word 6.0a to your mother .... | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
