How do I use ODBC ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, the most important thing you have to do is to properly configure ODBC used in Windows. ODBC drivers and Windows MUST be properly configured at the USER level to function correctly. You can not develop an ODBC application that will work unless everybody has ODBC properly installed in their computers. ODBC is not 'self-contained' like the CA-Clipper DBFs management (where you can generate your DBFs and indexes on the fly!). ODBC requires some specific installation. Basically, Windows needs to know exactly, in advance, which DataBases are going to be used through ODBC, where they are and what drivers will they use. There is a ODBC xBase driver, provided by Microsoft but it is not AT ALL as powerful as CA-Clipper RDDs. Keep this in mind.
