database connection mfiles

Queries datasource directly w/o requiring mods to ODBC Data Source Administrator.

You are now following this Submission

Complete package for connecting to, querying, and closing connections to SQL, Oracle, and MS Access databases.

The main advantage of these functions is that they implement a "DSN-less" connection, which means you can run queries against a server without having to first add the datasource to your ODBC Data Source Administrator.

Just input the server name, database name, and optional uid/pwd to open a connection using an ActiveX control.

It takes only 4 lines of code to open a connection, run a query, and close the connection. It's that simple!
