I am trying to create an application for release to other PC's. I need to acquire data from an ACCESS database using SQL (ODBC ESQL) so I need to establish the data source on every machine using the app. I don't want to have the user do it and I don't want to write code to alter the registry. I was hoping I could use "SQLCONFIGDATASOURCE" to do this. I have found info on MSDN concerning it but no examples in COBOL. Any experiance with this???? ... or Other better ways to do this????
