Accessing APPX data from non-APPX ODBC Clients

APPX/ODBC Server allows Windows application clients (such as DI-Diver, Excel, Access, and Crystal Reports) to view and operate upon AppxIO datafiles. APPX/ODBC Server is a standard feature of APPX. No additional license fees are required to use it. (If you're interested in using APPX to access data stored in a non-APPX data formats, such as SQL-Server or MS-Access' Jet database, see APPX/ODBC Connection Instructions .)

APPX data can be stored on a local PC, or remotely on an NT or UNIX server using APPX/Net connecting to an APPX/Server. With APPX/ODBC Server, data is accessed by other PC applications directly from APPX databases, without time-consuming transfer processes.
