vb app runs, but cant connect to database

Post by needee »

Hi,
I thought Linux was difficult but I found it quite easy.
I have successfully ran a home made vb6 application on suse linux, via this great tool(wine).

but on windows xp, we first create an odbc connection, then this vb application communicates with MS SQL Server 2000.

I yet failed to find any option to create odbc connection in wine

is there any another Open source(free) tool that creates odbc connection for MS SQL Server 2000 ? or wine can do this too ?

please help a newbie
Regards

Try installing the native odbc by using winetricks:
