Wny not just link directly?  Odbc in this situation is a headache.

I'm trying to connect 2 MS Access Databeses ,stored on my C-drive, using ODBC and I get the error &quot;You cannot use ODBC to import from, export to, or link an external Microsoft Jet &nbsp;or ISAM database table to your database&quot;.<br />
<br />
Why not?<br />
Is there a way to work around? How?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help,<br />
