I use Visual Basic 6 and Client Acess Express V4R4.<br />
When I try to create the Connection String for the ADO and I use the build button I choose the<br />
IBM AS400 OLD DB Provider, and a Data Source then I click on the test connection button and its work.<br />
But, when I click on the OK button<br />
and return to the property page, the text box of the Connection String is<br />
empty.<br />
How should I write the Connection String<br />
to use this provider?<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />
