Bob,

You may want to go into the ODBC control panel and create a file DSN. You can then look at the file and get an idea of what the connection string should look like.

>I'm trying to connect VFP programatically to some Btrieve data through an ODBC driver for Btrieve (the question would be the same if it were SQL, Access, etc. data) and for that I need a connection string but I'm not sure what it's content should be. In my earlier experimenting I set up a data source that showed me what the connection string was, but I can't remember how to get back to that point to take a look at it.
