Works like a charm !

Two small hiccups with the Migration Wizard :

1. Under W2K and pgAdminII, I still experience a "reverse tab" (cursor
moves to previous field instead of next field when pressing TAB). THis
is the same behaviour as with WinME and pgAdminI ;

2. The Wizard defaults to the MS-Access system database as defined in
the Jet registry settings : it would be nice if one could override this
from within the Wizard (as per the "MS Access Workgroup Administrator",
wrkgadm.exe).

Thanks for a great piece of software.

Kind regards,
