It only permits create DSN for local databases =( In VB, we use connection string, not DSN... I know it's not a Revolution issue, but could you give-me more information about remote databases and DSNs? (I will not program for Macs, only for IBM, in both Microsoft and *nix plataforms).

In ODBC with DSN, I can't declare host, thus, only local databases can be used =( Thanx for all the help ;-) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
