After reading this artical and the comments it made me turn to my file cabinet, no really it is this steel box behind me in my office, and pulled randomly Volume 1 Number 5 September 1996 devJournal for Access. At $8.95 a pop I am not about to toss all of them! The Cobb group published it and in the issue it speaks of ODBC API calls and creating multi-source combo boxes. Oh the good old dayz!
