[Phpwm] connecting to Access database

[David J Lodwig]

If dvam is the folder I think you have forgotten to specify the address or 
name of the server from the string, maybe something like 

odbc_connect("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; 
DBQ=\\servername\dvam\lionheart.mdb", "", "","SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC");

might work.

[Phpwm] connecting to Access database






The manual says we can do this, but I am struggling.

We are trying to connect to an access database on a windows machine via 
our linux server. The db is lionheart.mdb and it is in a folder dvam. We 
have mapped the folder dvam on the linux server and can see the db 
within it.

We are then trying to use this string, with no result at all:

odbc_connect("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; 
DBQ=\\dvam\lionheart.mdb", "", "","SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC");

thanks, alan dunn
