Hi guys, thanks for your posts. I need a driver that I could load into Microsoft ODBC data sources (odbcad32.exe) like i use it under linux odbc. Can that be done? in what enviroment can i compile it? Is there any compiled drivers for this already out there? Why can't it be downloaded and installed like db2 drivers or informix drivers...
