I have a VB5 app connecting to SLQ Anywhere without a data source name
- no problem.  I am changing the app to a multi-user environment using
SLQ Anywhere Server & SQL Anywhere Client.  I can connect with a DSN -
no problem; the ODBC dialog screen comes up.  I don't want to setup a
DSN on all the machines in the office if I don't have to.

We are running Novell (I think 3.1, maybe 4.0)


Here is the code for the standalone version DSN-less- works fine.

  RDOConnect = "UID=rico;PWD=rico;DBF=" + DBPath +
"\ricoapp.DB;DRIVER=Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.0;DSN='';"

  Set grdoConn = rdoEnvironments(0).OpenConnection("rico",
rdDriverNoPrompt, , RDOConnect)


Any suggestions would be helpful

Rich Smoothe,

I've never done this before but I would assume that you need the following
parameters in your RDO connect string...

DBN = DatabaseName (db file without extension unless aliased with -n switch
in server parameters )
ENG = SQL Anywhere ServerName
START = DBCLIENT <SWITCHES>( DBCLIENW for 16 bit clients )

instead of the DBF and DBPath switches...

HTH,

Carson
