Re: Emulator Interface with Win2k

It's been awhile, but here goes.

The ODBC driver you use should handle getting to the server. Are you using
TCP/IP now? The server names should be available, host tables, DNS, etc.

VB could care less about connection protocols, just things like authentication.

Take alook at you ODBC Admin control panel app. It should show you some
options like protocol, server name, etc., and these are what you will need
to set up. Then it's easy. <g>
