    Question Anyone ever connected to a "Pick" database?

    I have to get & update data from two databases. One is Oracle - no problem. How about "Pick"? From what I can gather, this is old & is not ODBC compliant.

    Can I connect using RDO w/o ODBC or DSN?

    Thanks for any info.

    I have some colleagues in another office who use PIC and Delphi together, I believe they use ODBC; i'll find out for you and post the results, (might not be till tomorrow though, it's getting late in England...)

    Yes Lawson they use ODBC:

    First you have to "un3D" the PIC database i.e. remove the temporal aspects of it by turning it into a flat structure (im finding out some more about that tomorrow)

    Then you can connect to it via ODBC, and I have some drivers coming tomorrow for that, i'll send those on to you.
