ODBC.

Examples are given in the manual that comes with Command :-)

Submit a business reason to [bo--rebol--com] and he may send you the eval version. I used the eval version accessing ODBC across a network and found no problems. However, there were major problems with ODBC and the database I was using - Interbase. You would have to check with RT how compatible it would be with Access. But I was able to use Rebol/command to spider a suppliers password protected website, grab pricing information, and insert the data back into my web server which I thought was pretty neat ( and pointless as I can just ask for a price list :-) ) -- Graham Chiu
