However, I haven't used SAS before and would like to experiment it at home.<BR /> <BR /> Instead of dumping a series of questions right now, I'll post a couple of questions at most and we'll see where this takes me.<BR /> <BR /> So, the Company has a huge database that I utilize everyday. 1. How does one connect to the Company's database from SAS?<BR /> <BR /> I look foward to your help and guidance. Many thanks in advance.<BR /> <BR /> DT<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> --------<BR /> ps. Running SAS 9.0 at home.
