Hi all.
I've been searching all over the place for a bit of VB Net code that will
create a DSN for an Access database. I've found examples of creating
connections for SQL, but not Access.
Has anyone done this or acn anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Tull.

They keywords should be documented in the help file of the ODBC Access
driver, but you can always create a DSN manually and then get the
keywords/values from the registry:
For system DSNs:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\OD BC\ODBC.INI
At minimum, the DSN for access requires the DBQ=myAccessFil e.mdb
keyword/value if I recall correctly.
Notice also that you can skip the creation of a DSN and use a DSN-less
connection, adding the "Driver={Micros oft Access Driver (*.mdb)"
keyword/value. Search the DSN-less concept in Google.

I don't really recommend that you use the MS Access ODBC driver (use Jet OLEDB instead), but the
below thread (my second post) should demonstrate how: http://makeashorterlink.com/?F2555184B

Hello,
We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to

(SQL Server 2000), 40 users.
I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other

I know this works for Access 97. Not sure about other versions.
This will create a DSN to a SQL server in your ODBC connections and
then link a table of your choise from that SQL DB to the Access
Database. You could modify it anyway you like. Such as passing
variables to the values you have to change vs. manually typing them in.

Hi,
My question es very simple:
Can I create a ADP file in MS Access 97 for updating tables, views,

In MS Access 2003 this is very easy to do, but my client only have a MS

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
