Adding DSN programmaticly - resolved

SQLConfigDataSource(0, ODBC_ADD_SYS_DSN, "MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver", "DSN=MySQLTesting" & Chr(0)
& "SERVER=myServer.com.au" & Chr(0) & "DATABASE=testing" & Chr(0) &
"OPTION=" & (1 + 2 + 8 + 32 + 2048 + 16384) & Chr(0) & "UID=username" & Chr(0)
& "PORT=3306" & Chr(0)
& "DESCRIPTION=someDesc" & Chr(0))


It returns 1 ie succesful, yet i cant see it my ODBC datasources list (through administritive options)

help!?

Try this

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
'Declarations Used to Generate DSN
Private Const ODBC_ADD_DSN = 1 ' Add data source
Private Const ODBC_CONFIG_DSN = 2 ' Configure (edit) data source
Private Const ODBC_REMOVE_DSN = 3 ' Remove data source
Private Const vbAPINull As Long = 0& ' NULL Pointer
 
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
 
'Code:
Public Sub CreateDSN(sDSN As String)
  ' * Comments : Create a DSN
 
   Dim nRet As Long
   Dim sDriver As String
   Dim sAttributes As String
 
   sDriver = "Oracle73 Ver 2.5"
   sAttributes = "Server=pressdb.world" & Chr$(0)
   sAttributes = sAttributes & "DESCRIPTION=" & sDSN & Chr$(0)
   sAttributes = sAttributes & "DSN=" & sDSN & Chr$(0)
   sAttributes = sAttributes & "DATABASE=DB" & Chr$(0)
   sAttributes = sAttributes & "UID=Waty" & Chr$(0)
   sAttributes = sAttributes & "PWD=myPassword" & Chr$(0)
 
   DBEngine.RegisterDatabase "kiki", "Oracle73 Ver 2.5", True, sAttributes
 
   'nRet = SQLConfigDataSource(vbAPINull, ODBC_REMOVE_DSN, sDriver,sAttributes)
 
End Sub
 
Public Sub DeleteDSN(sDSN As String)
   ' * Comments : Delete a DSN
 
   Dim nRet As Long
   Dim sDriver As String
   Dim sAttributes As String
 
   sDriver = "Oracle73 Ver 2.5"
   sAttributes = sAttributes & "DSN=" & sDSN & Chr$(0)
 
   nRet = SQLConfigDataSource(vbAPINull, ODBC_ADD_DSN, sDriver,sAttributes)
 
End Sub

whats dbengine? i am guessing its DAO, which i dont want to add to my project, I'd really like to get this API working.

thanks. :)
