Do you have any sample code? I know it should be simple, but I've only been
using the
built in text editor, so it doesn't give any clues as to what methods are
available.

Yes please. I installed the ODBC drivers and then got very confused looking
at the MS docs
when looking for what to do next. I know this is simple, but I'm a
c/c++/java/perl/unix
programmer and not vb/.net! For now I've got it working with a long Select
Case statement
instead. Not ideal, but it does work :-)

Thanks,
Paul
