I'm trying to connect to an ODBC datasource using the SqlStringConnect function, but i'm getting a 1903 error, 'String is too long to fit'.

The connection string is greater than 255 characters, and i have no way of reducing its length. It contains a series of file names including paths and an unlock key which is 128 characters long.

Any ideas how i can still use this function, so i can save myself from having to use oledb, which doesn't appear to have the 255 character restriction on a connection string.
