help me in solving this..

Feb 26th, 2007

I currently have to set up the ODBC configuration using Control Panel/ Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC)/User DSN etc in Windows 2000.

This means that when I distribute the application I will have to get other users to go into Control Panel, and configure the ODBC and set the DSN for the proper database.

Has anyone figured out a way to do this from within VB6. It sounds like an API call(?) will be required...

I would like to have the user select the database and then have VB configure the DSN name and driver using code...
