    I am having a little trouble getting my data object to read a Sybase SQL database. They have the extension *.db and there is nothing in the "Connect" list that will recognize a Sybase SQL database. There must be some way to connect to this kind of a database, does anyone know how?

    Are you using ODBC to connect to Sybase database ?

    Well, I'm trying to use ODBC, or ADO, whichever I can get to work sooner. I would prefer to use ADO because I believe that I will be able to create a much more user-friendly interface with ADO. However, I'll take whatever I can get.

    Check with Sybase to see if they've provided ADO drivers for the version you're running. If not ODBC is your only option.

    If you have the ADO drivers (and VB 6) you can use the DataView Window to help you get your Connect string right.
