Hi Folks,

question:
I have the scenario with a DB-App as follows:
Location of App: central File-server (standalone-EXE)
Clients: Call that App on the shared folder from their client-
computers.

Now the Problem: Not all clients have the Driver (IBM DB2) installed
on their client-machines, and therefore no DSN and/or Driver-Entry in
their ODBC-Manager

Do i just have to drop the dll in the App-Folder on the share? How
would i point MyConn.Driver to that DLL, when i cannot use the string
"iSeries Access ODBC Driver" (as all the examples suggest)?
