The attached files demonstrate how to create a
persistent database connection using a class object encapsulated in a DLL. Using Visual
Basic 5.0 you can run the test project (wholly within VB). You can compile the code or
simply run regsvr32.exe to register the enclosed DLL. To experiment with Outlook, create a
custom form with a single command button named "cb2" and publish the form to a
folder of your choice (usually Personal Forms). Feel free to email me with any questions
or comments. You'll also need to create a 32-bit ODBC Data System Name using the Control
Panel applet. For the attached example, I created one named "testDSN" and
pointed it to the enclosed mdb file location. Good luck!
