ESDAT Database Integration 

ESDAT is designed to be capable of working closely with the underlying database in the management and manipulation of your data. It is likely that at some point users who are capable in the use of Access will want to add additional tables, or write additional queries. This can be achieved by directly opening the underlying database using the Access link.

So long as the queries in the Database run in Access without errors they can be used through ESDAT.  This means the database is transparent to users and outputs can be customised to almost any extent.

*The same functionality is available in the SQL Server versions but is likely to be restricted to particular users.
