Thanks, but Can anyone give the advantages, disadvantages of using user DSN, system DSN, file DSN, or a connection String?
As for your reply, how do you manage to update your tables? Do you have to set a looot of properties for each view and its fields?
TIA
>I have an ODBC_DSN class in the UT Downloads that has examples. I use Oracle, but the concept is the same. I connect using SQLStringConnect() then use SPT. I still have apps using Remote Views, but I am moving to using SPT almost exclusively.

>>I have an application that uses SQL Server 7 as a back end. So, I created a System DSN. Then I created a connection in my app's DBC that refers to that DSN. But the connection designer has an option to specify a Connection string. Would someone tell me what is the best way to connect to SQL Server? Through a user DSN, system DSN, file DSN, or a connection String???
