DBComp seems to belong to the difference pickers. Nevertheless using ODBC is a useful approach as it can smooth out the differences between different formats - the underlying data could be SQL, XML, CSV - anything providing there's S/W to render it as an ODBC source. -- Ian Hotmail is for spammers.
