Create ODBC

I'm trying to write a program that after it is installed and the user runs the program for the first time it creates an ODBC DSN. I know there is a way to do this but I'm a little confused on how to get started. I also know that it involves using the ODBC API's, right? Please any help would be great.

Don't know much about the ODBD APIs, but you can create your own DSNs using simple Registry API calls.

Create a DSN through the Data Source Administrator, and take a look at the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources

Hi,

I have been looking for the exact same thing. I found this:

Link to Planet Source Code

I haven't had time to use it yet but it looks like a good start. There is also a SQL server DSN under the same author.

Hope it helps.
