Hello Doug,
Yes, I've installed MSDE and the readme.txt that came with the sample says
it assumes that I have set up an ODBC data source called NorthwindMSDE and am
connecting to a database called NorthwindCS. The windows XP help screens say
you can set up the DSN through any app such as Access, FoxPro, etc. I pulled
up the database in Access and it asked if I wanted to install the db to SQL
Server. (I'm a VB/Access programmer trying to get a handle on working with
SQL Server) Anyway, the VB sample still doesn't work and I don't see
anything in the program's connection string that points to a particular
location. I guess I am just not sure what to change in the code.
Thanks again,
Glenn
