SQL Related Articles: Selecting ODBC datasource using Registry
2002-11-20 -- Tim Morrison

This is what I ended up doing.

I am using the Registry Function Library.

Loc:Connect = 'SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources'
Loc:Key = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,Loc:Connect)
IF Loc:Key = 0
    !Your Own Error Processing
ELSE
    EnumReg(Loc:Key,Q) !Populates a Queue (See Below)
END
CloseKey(Loc:Key)
ThisWindow.Reset(1)

Loc:Connect = CSTRING(101)
Loc:Key = ULONG

Q                    queue,type
Name                    string(255)
Type                      byte
Value                     any
                       end

The "Name" is all I really need, then I can do some processing based on what
the user selected.
