Re: Can Developer/Designer 2000 apps use ODBC

Yes.... Both Forms and Reports can use ODBC connections :

In the form/report properties set the connection string to ODBC:ODBC_DataSOURCENAME

It works just like a SqlNet connection, only slower---much slower....

Note : this still requires that SqlNet be available to the Client since ODBC uses it ( like all ODBC, it needs the underlying dlls to make the connection)

I'm not sure if Designer2000 can, since the access to the repository may require a native SqlNet connection -----
