Joe, 'Scuse me for butting into this discussion. But you wrote "Nothing to sell. I actually do this out of the kindness of my heart, hard to believe as that may be."

Never seen anyone imply otherwise... jt > -----Original Message----- > From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com > [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Joe Pluta > Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2001 4:39 AM > To: midrange-l@midrange.com > Subject: RE: ODBC (was RE: Green screen - it's time is over ) > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Brad Jensen > > I say: > > The code that defines the ODBC connector is on the client.
