R help - Mar 2004 - query with parameters using RODBC

Dear all,
I am using RODBC to conduct Queries in a MSACCESS data base. This works
quite well, but is it also possible to conduct Queries including parameters
which can be specified flexibly if the Query is used for example in a R
function. Something like the function .parambyname in Borland Delphi for
example.

thanx for help

Matthias

Perhaps you could tell us what that does?

RODBC is just a wrapper to the basic ODBC routines, so please tell us what 
Delphi is passing to ODBC and how.
