I don't claim to be an export in this area, but here is how I am doing things:
ADO connection snipit:
Set oTargetConn = New ADODB.Connection
oTargetConn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={PostgreSQL};" _
& "SERVER=" & Me.txtHost & ";" _
& "UID=" & Me.txtLogin & ";" _
& "PWD=" & Me.txtPassword & ";" _
& "PORT=" & Me.txtPort & ";" _
& "Database=" & Me.txtDatabase & ";"
I specifically tried to avoid using a defined ODBC definition. Also I am
not using bound controls in my application so I don't do anything with the
built in vb data objects.
Enthusiastically,
Dave Leedom

Hi folks,
i'm trying to use an odbc-based win32 application (biet-o-matic)
with postgresql. (afaik its written in vb)
I've installed the latest odbc driver and set up an datasource
(in fact an user-dsn and an system-dsn), and of course created
user + database for the app.
The application wants to know provider-string, dbname, dbuser, ..
As provider string i've tried the dsn's as well as the driver
name (PostgreSQL), but this didnt work: the application shouts
out that the provider string could not be found.
What am I doing wrong ?
thx
