 Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 3:21 pm Post subject: VDSDB.dll with .DBF files |
 |
|
Has anyone ever used the VDSDB.dll with .DBF (dBase) files?
I'm evaluating the VDS all-in-one .dll and would love to try out the ODBC functions with VDSDB.dll, but I can't get it to work.
First, I should ask if I have the correct dll. VDSDB.dll is integrated into the VDSDLL.dll - is that correct? Is there a separate VDSDB.dll? If so, I don't have it.
Second, here are some connection strings I have tried:
| Code: |
dll db, setup, "Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)", DSN=Joe, Dbq=c:\vquote
dll db,setup,"Microsoft dBase Driver *.dbf)",DSN=joe,UID=admin,PWD=,DataDirectory=c:\vquote
|
I get "Invalid paramater to command" each time I try to run it. I am calling the external .dll and I am defining the command and function for "DLL."
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Well, I answered one question - I think I had the wrong .dll. I downloaded again and I am past that part that gave me the error. Now if I can just get the connection to return something ...

Eureka! I figured out my problem and it works!
For posterity, here is the connection string I used:
| Code: |
dll db, setup, "Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)", DSN=Joe, Dbq=c:\vquote
dll db,connect,Joe
|
This may be a big help to me. Hope so!
