Hi,
If you have downloaded the driver and run the setup then in Control Panel's ODBC must show this driver.You have to make a dsn by giving appropiate information and then using this DSN you can connect to the sybase databse.

The driver should be supplied with sybase package and should show up on the Drivers tab of the ODBC32 utility in the Windows control panel. The code should look something like this:
Dim cn As New adodb.Connection
Cnct = "uid=" & userID & ";pwd=" & Password & ";driver={Adaptive Server Anywhere 7.0};server=YourServer;dat
With cn
.ConnectionString = Cnct
.ConnectionTimeout = 10
.CursorLocation = adUseServer
.Open
End With

.CursorLocation = adUseServer
.Open
End With

I have the drivers with the application but how can I make VB6 recognise it. Is there a way to register it or add it to any sys file... I have not done this before so if u can advise please.
