Hello to everybody.
Is there a way to invoke the
"ODBC Connection String Builder"
in Access97 from code ???
I want to create a form with a button
on it which should open the
"ODBC Connection String Builder".
Is this or something similar possible ???
How can i call the
"ODBC Connection String Builder" ?


Many Thanks in Advance !
George
 
You could just make a form, and simply prompt for the info. Then, take that
info, and create the needed connection string.

You do not have to create dsn. In fact, for reasons of maintains etc, I
would not bother, but in fact use dsn less connections....

It is not clear if you are needing to just open a table in code, or in fact
want to use the info to "link" some tables?

Here is a example of linking odbc tables with out first making a DSN
connection
