What I did is based on a class written by Mark McCasland, which also has
a dependency on something written by Rick Strahl for reading/writing the
registry. At the time, I needed to create a DSN for my app to use and
had been doing it manually at each user's desktop. I was able to take
Mark's code and customize it to test for the existence of the DSN and
create it if it wasn't there. It's driven by storing the DSN parms in a
VFP table. Anyway, what I did is pretty specific to my situation but
could be fairly simply adapted to what you want.
OTOH anyone who has the chops to rewrite Lotus Organizer in VFP probably
doesn't need to see something as specific as what I've done. <g> So
I've sent you the stuff that I pinched from Mark off list. He's done a
nice job of documenting it and shows a number of examples. If you still
want to discuss my specific implementation after you've looked at his
stuff, I'll be happy to do so.
