ODBCConnectionName (Property)

In french: ODBCNomConnexion

Available only with these kinds of connection

What is a query performed on a connection?

A query performed on a connection is a query performed on data files handled via a specific ODBC driver or a Native Connector.

When the connection is created, you can define:

the connection name
the name of the data source
the username and password
the name of the database accessed (if there is more than one).

The report editor allows you to print the data coming from a query performed on a connection. All the parameters of the connection to use can be defined in the report editor or through programming with the WLanguage properties.

The ODBCConnectionName property is used to:

Find out the name of the ODBC connection used when printing a report based on a "query performed on a connection".
Specify the name of the ODBC connection used when printing a report based on a "query performed on a connection".

Remark: This property must be used in the opening code of the report.

Example

// -- Opening code of the report
RPT_Report1.ODBCConnectionName = "MyConnection"
RPT_Report1.ODBCSQLCode = "Select * from Products"
RPT_Report1.ODBCUserName = "MOORE"
RPT_Report1.ODBCPassword = "PSW"
