I'm trying to find out how to access database created w/ MSACCESS2000 using Delphi5 Prof. on Win2000 OS. Right now my program uses Delphi3 and MSACCESS97 native driver from BDE ADmin to create an alias and connect it to my TDatabase component. Is it true that we can't use native driver anymore for MSAccess2000/Delphi5 and now we can only uses ADO or ODBC?
The problem is I don't know anything about ADO or ODBC. There is a very useful posting here (by Jeff-Mar.1,2001) about how to use ACC2000 w/ Delphi5 by creating an ODBC DSN. I have tried to do it as best as I can but I think I didn't create the ODBC DSN correctly because I got an error: "invalid configuration parameter" on my database Alias. Could anyone please explain how (what I need to enter/select) to create an ODBC DSN so I can connect MSACCESS2000 database to my Tdatabase component? Please help!
