My company has a large volume of information stored in a
Solomon Database on a Novell server. Does anyone know if
Access can use the information from the Solomon DB to
create tables that can be used for Access reports or
Datapages?
 
Hi Matthew -

This is Steven from Microsoft Access Technical Support replying to your
newsgroup post.

You may need to contact Solomon Software to see if they have an ODBC driver
that will allow Microsoft Access to view Solomon's data. The alternative
would be to open an Access database and while in the database, go to the
"File" menu, point to "Get External Data", and click either "Linked Table"
or "Import". Once the dialog box appears, you can click the "Files of Type"
dropdown list. This list will display the various file types that Access
can link to or import from. Therefore, if Solomon can export its data to
one of the file types, then Access will be able to link or import the data
from that file type.

Please let me know if this solves your problem or if you would like further
assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Steven Parsons [MSFT]
