Re: VFP7: DSN programatically
What I did is based on a class written by Mark McCasland, which also has a dependency on something written by Rick Strahl for reading/writing the registry. At the time, I needed to create a DSN for my app to use and had been doing it manually at each user's desktop. I was able to take Mark's code and customize it to test for the existence of the DSN and create it if it wasn't there. It's driven by storing the DSN parms in a VFP table. Anyway, what I did is pretty specific to my situation but could be fairly simply adapted to what you want. OTOH anyone who has the chops to rewrite Lotus Organizer in VFP probably doesn't need to see something as specific as what I've done. g So I've sent you the stuff that I pinched from Mark off list. He's done a nice job of documenting it and shows a number of examples. If you still want to discuss my specific implementation after you've looked at his stuff, I'll be happy to do so.

VFP7: DSN programatically
I am sure I did this in a previous lifetime, but I would like to create system DSN for a VFP DBC. Any ideas? TIA! David L.
