Glenn, you do not have to set up ODBC. You can talk directly to a database
if a proper ADO server is set up. Go to
http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm to find out connection strings
for openning various databases. An ADO connection string can be dynamically
created at run-time. Good luck, Lee Gan
