UNIX and Access

[Andrew_Fryer]

Is there any way to call a UNIX command from MS-ACCESS. I need to extract the version number of a file from a Unix box using SCCS.

Thanks

Andrew

You probably need to use some form of third party middleware. We use "Orbix" which is a corba based interface that supports COM on the clinet and can therefore be used from any ActiveX automation client (Access, VB etc.)
It isn't easy though.
