Hi all

Been trying for ages and searching but can't seem to find an answer...

Is there a way that programatically at runtime I can add a DSN entry to the ODBC table. I supply software that is database orientated and hate having to do the ODBC setuo manually before I can run the program.

Any ideas please ?

Thanks for help...however...

Do you know how I would specify the params ?

Database is Access db called C:\db.mdb no logon required.

Have included odbcinst.h to project to get the SQL call but now won't link ?

 
I think you can find that information on the help. It makes no sence me to copy/paste the help in the forum.
