Hello <br />
<br />
I have an MFC application that uses an MS Access database configured via ODBC.<br />
<br />
I use CDatabase, and call OpenEx(..) passing to it the connection string which specifies the name of the ODBC entry.. All standard stuff, works just fine.<br />
<br />
I am working on an import utility (runs without user interaction) and need to be able to create a CDatabase instance, but instead of using an ODBC entry, I have a specified path to an Access MDB file. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How can I create this connection to a specified MS Access file without having to modify or create an ODBC setting? (note I mentioned this utility runs without user interaction, so not specifying a connection and prompting a &quot;locate data source&quot; dialog is not appropriate.)<br />
<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

CDatabase - open file without ODBC setting?

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

System Programming

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
