[GRASS-user] Multiple attribute tables in winGRASS 6.4

Hello Colin

I've downloaded and installed winGRASS r38959.

I used db.connect to define ODBC connection
Used db.login to define user
Ran db.tables -p
- this generates error with pop-up window appearing: odbc.exe has
encountered a problem and needs to close

Regards,

Sharon
