This works if you type sql in. But with open office you can browse
tables and for me I have over 150 tables so double clicking and
viewing the date is faster then typing select statement each time.

So my option is upgrade to what version?


lucas@debianlaptop:~$ apt-cache policy tdsodbc
tdsodbc:
  Installed: 0.63-3.2
  Candidate: 0.63-3.2
  Version table:
 *** 0.63-3.2 0
        600 http://debian.uchicago.edu etch/main Packages
        450 http://debian.uchicago.edu lenny/main Packages
        400 http://debian.uchicago.edu sid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Don't seem as there is a newer version in Debian repository.
