I am using a VB6 application to connect to a Sysbase SQL database. The problem I have is that I first need to launch the Sysbase DBClient.exe application in order for my VB code to connect. I desire to connect completely by code, without having any user interaction.

I tried to use the VB Shell command to launch the Sysbase DBClient app, but trying to close it back down again is causing some problems.

Is there a better way to connect to the database?

P.S. I also posted this in the Sysbase:SQL Server thread.
