[Tutor] odbc

[John Corry]

Kent,

I am not sure what you mean.  I am feeling about in the dark on this
subject.

Do you have an example?  Among my visual foxpro database files I have a file
called tng.dbc.  When I acces the database files through excel, I select the
tng.dbc before I can see the fields in the databases.  Is this what I need
to log onto with python first before I access the database file?

Regards,

John.

Have you configured an ODBC data source for the database you are trying
to access? I don't remember how to do this but I know it was a necessary
step for accessing MS-Access databases from ODBC.
