Thanks Tdk161, I think I have that somewhere already so I will explore.
I used to use the VDSmysql.dll years and years ago for connections to mysql databases but when mysql upgraded the dll became out of date and would not connect.
I'm now revisting this isse by looking at creating the odbc connector in the windows desktop and then perhaps use the vdsdb to make the necessary sql queries through this connection....
Am I on the right track ?
Many thanks

I believe the vdsdll helpfile contains documentation that you need.
Note: The bare vdsdb.dll 2.3 doesn't use the DLL command or @DLL() functions.
Just replace "DLL" with "DB" and then remove the other "DB" from the funtion or command.
eg "DLL DB, QUERY, <SQL query>"
should be" DB QUERY, <SQL query>"
and @DLL(DB,Get)
would be @DB(Get)
Note: "db setup" will not work on a 64bit system. You will need to manually create an odbc entry in the registry under "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\ODBC"
Or create the DSN using "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
I'll see if I can find the help file that explains it better. EDIT: I put an rtf file in the attached zipfile for help.
See attached

Thanks Aslan, its 4 am over here in the UK and I woke up early having realised that exact as you said below so came to the office to try it out but saw your posting so as you can imagine it made me chuckle 
Thanks for the registry hint thats great I'll remember to include a reg write in my installs if I ever get that far
Best Regards oh and thanks for the pm......

Hi Aslan, Sorry to be a bore.. I got the db script working after much trial and error on both the 32bit and 64bit odbc so happy days there but....
I have a problem with the function I am trying to create inthat I will be passing the query and field display criteria in variables to the function and when I try and put the @db(get) string into the list is just repeats the string rather than display the results....
The essences of what I am doing is below, can you advise where my approach is wrong ?
| Code: | directory change,@path(%0)
external vdsdb.dll
#define command,db
#define function,db
rem Note: the VDSDB DLL isn't contained in the default VDSDLL
directory change,@path(%0)
list create,1
%%query = "SELECT IN_ID, Product, InField_ID, InSource, AvgBrix FROM inwards Where InDate Like '23/05/2011'"
%%display = "@db(get,IN_ID)|@db(get,Product)|@db(get,InField_ID)|@db(get,InSource)|@db(get,AvgBrix)"
rem establish database connection
db connect,TGTPMS
db query,%%query;
db fetchrow
if @ok()
repeat
list add,1,%%display
db fetchrow
until @not(@ok())
info @text(1)
else
info There are no entries for this date
end |

Try removing the quotes in the %%Display variable.
The quotes will stop it from treating the @db(get) as a function.
Just like this won't work either;
The result would by the text "%Y" instead of the contents of %Y
Putting a function(s) in a variable is probably a bad idea anyway.
Not sure of your placement of "DB FETCHROW" before "REPEAT"
| Code: | directory change,@path(%0)
external vdsdb.dll
#define command,db
#define function,db
rem Note: the VDSDB DLL isn't contained in the default VDSDLL
directory change,@path(%0)
list create,1
%%query = "SELECT IN_ID, Product, InField_ID, InSource, AvgBrix FROM inwards Where InDate Like '23/05/2011'"
# %%display = @db(get,IN_ID)|@db(get,Product)|@db(get,InField_ID)|@db(get,InSource)|@db(get,AvgBrix)
rem establish database connection
db connect,TGTPMS
db query,%%query;
repeat
db fetchrow
if @ok()
list add,1,@db(get,IN_ID)|@db(get,Product)|@db(get,InField_ID)|@db(get,InSource)|@db(get,AvgBrix)
end
until @not(@ok())
If @not(@null(@text(1)))
info @text(1)
else
info There are no entries for this date

|

ok so I have been getting to grips with the odbc connector and the vdsdb.dll and want to get rid of the annoying info message that come up when running the script and I assume this is a license issue as when I try to run my compiled script I get an error 28...
Who do a speak to so I can pay my dues and get an unlock for the dll ?
I thought vds.dll was freeware ....?
Thanks in advance for your assistance....

vds.dll is free. The vdsdb.dll is not part of the vds.dll release.
The last contact I had for Tommy was "tommy@sools.com"
His webpage hasn't been updated for a very long time, but you can give it a shot anyway.
Also at the top if the Custom VDS.DLL page http://www.vdsworld.com/vdsdll/index.php?sid=5b1dc24b879bc5c7eeb19d215ae82aa3 the is a register link to RegNet that may or may not work.
EDIT: It doesn't seem to exist on RegNet anymore... sorry
