Hello Paul,

Yes, please post more details on using the Jet 4.0 text driver for this type of query. Others have also mentioned Reporting Services and also trying to determine if there is a query that can be done straight from the database by talking to the users and finding out their logic for selecting records in the first place.

Thanks,

P.S. I think this discussion is great. Depending on the situation, you never know which method will be available, so it is good to know as many as possible.
