Hi there: How to use DSNless connection in VB6.0 and Informix7.x. I can do that in using MS SQL Server7.0, but not with informix. Thanks! -- ------------------------------------ ''''''(Kuang-ming Kuo) ']'Ϊk'H'_''''|'q'''' (Chi-Mei Foundation Hospital) kmkuo@mail.chimei.org.tw (06)2812811x2069 ------------------------------------

The informix SDK has a native OLEDB driver that will allow you to do this. You can download the SDK from http://www.intraware.com. This driver requires a script (\\etc\\coledb.sql) to be run against sysmaster in order to work. I have not had good luck with driver though. Problems with MONEY datatype and problems with joins. Merant also has a native OLE DB driver for informix but it will not give you a writable server side connection. -Brian In article <8onu76$p2o$1@news.seed.net.tw>, "''''''\$Kuang-ming Kuo\$" <kmkuo@mail.chimei.org.tw> wrote: > Hi there: > How to use DSNless connection in VB6.0 and Informix7.x.
