Hi guys,
I want ur advices on DB connections.
I usually use System DSN or File DSN to make my connections.
and they are quite useful,flexible
but i am facing the problem of when a user moves his databases, the connection is no longer valid.
some users for example want to move the database outside the folder program so the app.path
wouldn't work sometimes.
So is there any "user Proof" method of creating DB connections.
What do u usually use to connect? and why?
I was thinking of something like a link that would point to the actual database,no matter where it is.
To make myself clear.
I created a notepad file, i created a shortcut for it.
i changed the location of the notepad file, the shortcut is still valid
can i link my DB connection to a .lnk ?
any help guys ?
