Using DSN-Less Connections

K

I am using the approach suggested by Douglas Steele in
http://www.accessmvp.com/DJSteele/DSNLessLinks.html. I am connecting using
Oracle drivers provided by Oracle, so I have substituted Carl Prothman's
connection string. When my code gets to dbCurrent.TableDefs.Append
tdfCurrent, I recieve the following error "Could not find installable ISAM.
(3170) encountered." ANy help wpuld be great.

TIA,
K

What have you put as the Connection string? While Carl's site doesn't show
them, you must include the "ODBC;" at the beginning of the string. (The
reason Carl's site doesn't show that is because he doesn't need them for
what he's doing)
