What does DBQ stand for?
Hi
Just a small question. When you're putting in your connection string for an ADO connection. What does DBQ stand for? I've hunted and hunted without finding an answer. Someone did tell me it was DataBase Queue but he wasn't sure.
Thanks in advance.

zabman is right! It makes more sense!!
I really wasn't sure myself weather DBQ was DataBase Qualifier OR if it was DB Query (I can never remeber these things) so I looked it up on Microsoft's site. ;-)

The answer looks oddly similar ;-)

Hey
Did you know that you don't even have to set the full path in the ConnectionString? I'm working with VB6 now but I always used to specify the whole path or at least App.path but now it's not needed. As long as the DB is in the same folder as the project.
