Could someone post an example working connection string for Win95, VB6 connecting to IDS 7.3 ? Thanks in advance. PS - Any tutorials or references on this subject would be very useful.

That seems very simple. Where does the ifxoledbc bit come in ? Can I download the drivers from somewhere ? Are they free ? Many thanks.
