I am working on a master thesis and would like to use GRASS as the core of a solution with FOSGIS, but there seem to be problems with the ODBC driver in GRASS for Windows. Beeing not a programmer I am not really sure about this and would like to consult the developers of GRASS for a suggestion how to proceed. Please correct me, if my point of view should be wrong ! My former post in the user list is this http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/ODBC-driver-in-GRASS-td4558182.html Is there any chance to solve the problem with reading ODBC data bases (particularly MS Access) in the near future? Havn't opened a ticket yet. Thanks a lot for any feedback, regards, Christine }}} attached a simple test access database (testinput.mdb - zipped) - simple x,y-point-data - for the nc-sample dataset. tested here both with WinGRASS-6.4.3svn-r51149-195-Setup.exe and WinGRASS-7.0.svn-r51155-194-Setup.exe the v.in.db-wxgui freezes if database (i.e. C:\wd\access\testinput.mdb) is entered in the gui in the wxgui-commandline {{{ v.in.db driver=odbc database=""C:\wd\access\testinput.mdb"" table=grassinput key=ID x=xcoor y=ycoor output=mdbvector }}} a error message pops up that odbc.exe isn't working.
