>>I was doing it thru control panel/odbc. So doing that is unnecessary if I use your prg? I see in your prg refernce to registry.h, which I don't have, there are alot of proceedures and it's a bit confusing to me. Do I run odbcdemo.prg or just odbc.prg

>You have to download the free registry class from http://www.west-wind.com This caveat is in the comments at the beginning of the ODBC.PRG file. For a demo, run the ODBCDEMO prg file. You also need to MODI COMM this prg file to see the examples of how to use the class.

ok, I got the registry. I plugged in :
#DEFINE PATH_TO_DBC "P:"
#DEFINE DATABASE_NAME "data1.dbc" in the odbc.prg then ran odbcdemo
and then it asks me for registry.fxp b4 it bombs out. Am I getting close?
