ODBC Function calls

D

Dave

Hey,

I am fairly inexperienced using API function calls but I would like to
use some of the ODBC functions (the ones starting with SQL in the
name). The information I've read on MSDN is confusing to me and I
haven't had much luck with my code. I am wondering if anyone has some
advice.... Sample code including the declarations, a good website to
read... anything.

Thanks,
Dave

Why ODBC and not ADO (OLE DB)?

In any case, you might try asking in the data.odbc newsgroup. Be sure to
mention which programming language you're using (since you're posting in
an OFFICE newsgroup, I'm assuming this would be VBA 6.0, a classic
Visual Basic language). If that's the case, you might try cross-posting
to a classic VB newsgroup that deals with data handling. Any API code
you get for VB should also work with VBA.
