Connection to open office

[Mark]

Hello all,

I am newer c# app developer. I am wanting to start incorporating the Open Office apps into my projects. However, I can not figure out how to connect to the database. Does anyone know the connection string needed?

Thanks,
Mark

OpenOffice uses ODBC to connect to databases, so you need to setup an ODBC source for it. I think you do this in control panel/data sources or maybe tools/data sources from OpenOffice. Click new data source and choose ODBC and point it to your database. Then whatever you name that source is the name you would use to connect with.

FYI, I've never used OpenOffice, but I do know it uses ODBC, so if this info isn't entirely correct, it should at least point you in the right direction.
