ODBC issue [Resolved thru luck and detective work]
I am trying to connect to an old Sybase database file ("SHARK.DB"). The provider is "Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.0". The ODBC driver file is "wod50w.dll". I would like to connect to this database via a VB program.
Background:
My client has been using an old contact management type program called "Sharkware" (version 4.0, circa 1998). The program uses the old Sybase engine described above. The fact that Sharkware was actually written in VB, and that when I run the program, the database is being accessed, would suggest that I can somehow connect to this database and get the table names, field names, field values, etc. for the ultimate purpose of converting it to an Access database.
However, nothing I've tried so far works. If I try a REGSVR32 on the dll file, it fails. The provider name (Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.0) does not show up in the ODBC list. Any ideas on how I might get at this beast?
