    Accessing a Sybase .DB from VB6

    As I understand it I first need a Sybase ODBC driver
    where can I get this?

    Any other help/hints/pointer welcome. Totally lost.

    Thanks, DaveBo

    You need either an ODBC driver or an OLEDB provider. As a general rule, an OLEDB provider is better.

    You should be able to get one (or both) from the Sybase web site.

    Once you have that set up, you just need an apt connection string (which you can get via their documentation or the link in my signature). The rest of your code should be the same as any other database system.
