I only tested the new ODBC support using an ODBC to SQLite driver.
So, anyone had a chance to try it yet with SQL Server or other database?

Haven't had much time to play with it, but haven't had much success, either.
I found a SQLite -> ODBC driver, and set it up, and pointed it at the callers.db file, but I get an error about the sys.tables table not being found.
Not sure if I'm using the same driver you are.

Gave it a quick try. Haven't had time to give it justice yet. I downloaded odbc driver and installed from here: www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36434Not even sure that is the correct download?? Got a error, but never had time to see what the problem was.. Maybe I can get to it today.. |

Oh, looks like a provided the wrong version of the BAS file, which was originally written for SQL Server. I rewrote it for SQLite but apparently provided the wrong one. |

The createTable routine really should look like this.
sub createTable
call connect
#db execute("SELECT * FROM sqlite_master WHERE name = 'calls' and type='table'")
if #db hasanswer() = 0 then
#db execute("create table calls(CALLERSNAME text, PERSONCALLED text, DATEOFCALL text, TIMEOFCALL text, PURPOSEOFCALL text, CALLERSPHONE text)")
end if
call disconnect
end sub

Yep, looks like that change has fixed it. It's working for me, now.
Going to attempt to setup SQL Server Express on my computer, and then also test to see if I can get it to work through Excel and Access files, using their ODBC accessors.

Ok, tested connections with Access, Excel, and SQL Server, all successful.
I did have to make adjustments for all three, and I don't actually recommend using ODBC for Excel, and not doing table management with Access, as they're not really made for that.
Still, I was able to add and retrieve data from each one.
