Muks,
 
That is the kind of question to google or look up in wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODBC" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODBC</a>&nbsp;:smileywink:&nbsp; It is a way to connect to databases.

Jeyanthi,

I'd recommend searching the forums for "ODBC driver version".&nbsp; Here is one rather old link&nbsp; <a href="http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=190&amp;view=by_date_ascending&amp;message.id=253#M253" target="_blank">http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=190&amp;view=by_date_ascending&amp;message.id=253#M253</a>&nbsp;that may help

Another way to do it is to simply get the file's information and get the version from that. For example, the following uses .NET to get the file version for the Microsoft Access ODBC driver:<img src="Loading Image..."> You can do the same using the Windows API, but .NET is a lot easier.

By the way, you can find out the names of the DLLs from the ODBC Data Source Administrator:Message Edited by smercurio_fc on 08-06-2008 11:31 AM
