How to add a new DSN programmatically

by  moshi  Posted    (Edited  )
Write the following code in VFP :

LOCAL lcDriver,lc_dsn,fResult
# Define ODBC_ADD_DSN 1

Declare INTEGER SQLConfigDataSource IN odbccp32.dll;
INTEGER ,;
SHORT ,;
STRING @,;
STRING @
Lc_Driver = "driver name" +CHR(0)

lc_dsn = "dsn=MyFirstDsn"+CHR(0)+;
"Server=server name"+CHR(0)+;
"database=Database name"+CHR(0)+;
"Network=DBMSSOCN"+CHR(0)

fResult = SQLConfigDataSource( 0,ODBC_ADD_DSN,@lc_driver,@lc_dsn)

Hope this will add a DSN named MyFirstDsn
