As said in a previous post, I am beginning to experiment with SQLServer, using SQLServer 2005 Std Ed. on an XP Prof SP2 machine.
I managed to build my first edit form, using an ODBC connection. I created an ODBC connection called MYCONNECTION, which uses the database called TEST, and a table called CUSTOMERS. if I use: cConnString = 'MYCONNECTION' and nHandle = SQLConnect(cConnString) the connection is succesful If instead I use: cConnString='Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=test;Data Source=RAFAELPC\SQLEXPRESS' I have to use: nHandle = SQLStringConnect(cConnString) This opens a dialog forcing me to choose the MYCONNECTION ODBC source, and then the connection succeeds. Questions: 1) why does the above dialog appear and how can I get rid of it? 2) why does sqlconnect not work with the second connection string (the long one)? Can anyone give me the answers?
