Using DBman with MS Access
I want to use MS Access with DBman. The data is stored in an MS Access database and I want to use DBman with some extra functions (mass mail mod etc). I can't export the data from MS Access to plain text like the normal DBman database because some other (ASP) scripts use the same MS Access database.

Thanks

Hmm...interesting problem. If you are already using ASP, why do you want to use another script??? And as DBMAN is currently programmed, you can only use ASCII flat files. So, your only option is to export the MS Access table into a tab delimited text file.

....alternatively, you could purchase DBMan SQL and modify it to work with DBD:ODBC or Win32:ODBC.

I was trying to get DBMan SQL to work with DBD:ODBC, but was getting errors suggesting that the module calls with DBMan SQL (which are built to interface with DBD:MySQL) were not valid. I had little success finding info on the module calls for DBD:ODBC, but there seems to be a lot of info on Win32:ODBC out there, I just haven't had the time to try it out yet.

Of course as Eliot pointed out, if you're already using ASP,..... :-)
