Hi Ray,
Thanks for the help. Since I am using classic ASP this is exactly what I am looking for. But there is a problem here.
WhenI go the "Create New Data Source" window as mentioned in step ii, Ifind only sql server and Oracle drivers. I do
notsee PostgreSQL ODBC driver. But I am sure PsqlODBC is installed as it appears in the installed program list. Is
thereanything else I am missing, because of which the driver does not appear in the source?? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Mamatha

I moved away from ASP a long time ago, so memory is rusty, but here goes:
(i) Go to the ODBC data sources manager (under Administrative tools on my Windows 7 laptop)
(ii) Create a new data source, using the PostgreSQL ODBC driver.
(iii) In your ASP page, do something like:
dim conn
set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open "DSN=your_data_source_name"
This is using classic ASP, mind you, not ASP.NET - the latter may be different.
Ray.
