Does the machine that is "running" fpODBC have an ODBC connection to that Access 
Database? Can you connect from other ODBC aware applications?

I read your problem before and I *assumed* you also emailed support at fptech.net, 
because I have never had a problem with fpODBC as long as I had a good channel 
to the ODBC server. But now as I read it, it looks to me that you are thinking 
that you will be using the OBDC connector on the machine that has the ./dclerk 
binary on the hard disk, but instead you need to have a ODBC connnector on the 
machine that has the CPU that is executing ./dclerk

If it doesn't work that way, I have a serious mis-understanding of how filePro 
operates.
