Hi All,

Is there currently any support in Rails for MS Access? Is anyone  
working on _anything_ at the moment?

Regards

Michael,

Thanks for that. I actually just came across it about 6 hours ago.  
I’m looking into it as we speak. It seems the only “problem” is that  
it only works from Windows. I suppose this could be expected as  
Access is a Windows-only app. However, it would be convenient if I  
could at least develop on my Mac. Oh well, if it works, then Windows  
it is.

Thanks again!
