C++ - how to use ODBC text driver ?
I want to use the ODBC text driver from out VC++ 5. Where can I find any documentation about this or how to do it ? I have full knowledge of the use of other ODBC drivers so my problem is related only to the textdriver !

It will be clear that my question doesn't mean I don't know how to access text files fromout Visual C++.
The problem is I want to use the Cristal Reports tools fromout visual C++ to generate reports from text files. Normally generating full printable documents in Visual C++ is a time consuming task. However if I know how to use the ODBC textdriver I can pass through this task towards Cristal reports. I already know you have to use the ODBC administrator (or directly and updating the registry) to create a params.INI file. However I don't succeed to access files through the CRecordSet class. When calling CRecordSet::Open I receive a messagebox with "error in FROM clause"
