Get the ODBC database type from ADO
Hi
Could someone advice me how I could find the database

data source.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanx

The Provider property is all I can think of also.
If your data environment is called DataEnvironment1 and your connection is called DataConnect then use:
DataEnvironment1.DataConne
This will return something close to the list provided by dbirdman. For SQL Server I get SQLOLEDB.1

SQLOLEDB - SQL Server

Hope this is helpful
