Re: Change DSN name at runtime using CR 11.5 RDC

Hi David

First, you want to make sure you're on SP 6. See this blog on how to.

Now, it's been a long, long time for me since I looked at RDC and C++ in particular. But here is a doc that may help:

Using the RDC in Visual C++

The following is VB, but may also help:

Report Designer Component 9 - Connection Properties

This wiki has links to a few sample apps, unfortunately most of these are VB:

Now rutting around my HD, I found the attaches C++ app from the good ol days and that may be the best resource to have a look at. One you've downloaded the file, unzip it. You will get connectionProperties.txt. Rename that to connectionProperties.zip and extract again. That will get you all the files you need.
