I've got ODBC drivers and Paradox 8.0 working fine together. Obviously, when I shutdown for the day, then restart the following morning, I have to once again reconnect to the SQL ODBC. I'm sure there's an "open" or "arrive" OPAL script that will connect to the SQL server without me having to go into Alias Mananger and connect every day. All of the "help" examples seem to assume that the alias has already been connected. Any way to do this???<br>Thanks. <p>Deon Cranford<br><a href=mailto:deon.cranford@scotlandhealth.org>deon.cranford@scotlandhealth.org</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
