Re: ODBCv3 help...

Hello Eric,

I can't tell you why it's failing.  It sounds like the value of dbc
after the SQLConnect is a NULL value, which would cause SQLDisconnect
to core.  I'd suggest that you perform some error checking:


    if (SQLConnect( dbc,
                    (SQLCHAR*) "erictest", SQL_NTS,
                    (SQLCHAR* ) "olsoneg", SQL_NTS,
                    (SQLCHAR*) NULL, SQL_NTS ) != SQL_SUCCESS)
     { ... then deal with it ...}

If the return value is not SQL_SUCCESS, you would then use SQLError to
determine what the problem is.
