ODBC + pgsql on win32

From

Hi folks,

i'm trying to use an odbc-based win32 application (biet-o-matic)
with postgresql. (afaik its written in vb)
I've installed the latest odbc driver and set up an datasource
(in fact an user-dsn and an system-dsn), and of course created
user + database for the app.

The application wants to know provider-string, dbname, dbuser, ..
As provider string i've tried the dsn's as well as the driver
name (PostgreSQL), but this didnt work: the application shouts
out that the provider string could not be found.

What am I doing wrong ?


thx

I don't claim to be an export in this area, but here is how I am doing things:

ADO connection snipit:

     Set oTargetConn = New ADODB.Connection
     oTargetConn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={PostgreSQL};" _
             & "SERVER=" & Me.txtHost & ";" _
             & "UID=" & Me.txtLogin & ";" _
             & "PWD=" & Me.txtPassword & ";" _
             & "PORT=" & Me.txtPort & ";" _
             & "Database=" & Me.txtDatabase & ";"

I specifically tried to avoid using a defined ODBC definition.  Also I am
not using bound controls in my application so I don't do anything with the
built in vb data objects.

Enthusiastically,

Dave Leedom
