2 Questions - Win2000

[Moppsie]

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to consider my problem.
We are developing an app for our 3rd year IS course.

We are running win2000 on our machines, but I cannot seem to get the code that works on win98 for adding DSN's to the ODBC system to work.

The machine also refuses to show whether or not the PC is connected to a LAN (through code), like win98.

Please advise me urgently.

This will create a DSN (for Access in this example).

Place this in a module ...

Private Declare Function SQLConfigDataSource Lib "ODBCCP32.DLL" _
                                                   (ByVal hwndParent As Long, _
                                                    ByVal fRequest As Long, _
                                                    ByVal lpszDriver As String, _
                                                    ByVal lpszAttributes As String) As Long


' SQLConfigDataSource consts
Public Const ODBC_ADD_DSN = 1          ' Add user data source.
Public Const ODBC_CONFIG_DSN = 2       ' Configure user data source.
Public Const ODBC_REMOVE_DSN = 3       ' Remove user data source.
Public Const ODBC_ADD_SYS_DSN = 4      ' Add system data source
Public Const ODBC_CONFIG_SYS_DSN = 5   ' Configure system data source
Public Const ODBC_REMOVE_SYS_DSN = 6   ' Remove system data source

Place this in a form ...

Dim lngRetVal As Long
Dim strDriver As String
Dim strPassword As String
Dim strDSNName As String
Dim strDBPath As String
Dim strAttributes As String
    
  strPassword = "SomePassword"
  strDSNName = "SomeDSNName"
  strDBPath = "C:\Temp\SomeDB.mdb"
  strDriver = "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)" & Chr(0)
  
  strAttributes = "DSN=" & strDSNName & Chr(0)
  strAttributes = strAttributes & "Uid=" & Chr(0) & "pwd=" & strPassword & Chr(0)
  strAttributes = strAttributes & "DBQ=" & strDBPath & Chr(0)
  
  lngRetVal = SQLConfigDataSource(0, intAction, strDriver, strAttributes)

intAction will be one of the const's declared.
