ODBC vs OLEDB driver for SQLserver

Hi:
Which is the preferable driver to connect to the latest SQLServer
(SQL2000) ?
I have an application written in vb6, some of the data entry screen
hang (but most of the time it work perfectly), we have to clear off all
the sql connection from Enterprise manager and relogin into the system
again.
Is it because the driver we used (ODBC driver) cause the problem ?
because another application which use OLEDB driver has no problem at
all.
Any idea ?
Thanks
JCVoonHi
Look at the following page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/mdac/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnmdac/html/data_mdacroadmap.asp
OLE DB is the newer technology over ODBC.
If you screens hang, check for clocking when this is occurring (run sp_who2
in Query Analyzer) to see what is going on. You might have one user blocking
another user.

ODBC Select Data Source in Crystal reports - continuously prompts

I've created an ODBC entry for crystal reports. When I go to refresh and
run a report, it always prompts me with a select data source and SQL server
is at the bottom of the list under dBase, Excel and MS Access Database. If
I select it, the report runs. How do I have it automatically choose that
source so I don't have to select it each time?
Thank you.You should ask this question in a Crystal support newsgroup or site.
This one is for SQL Server, so your pickings will be slim.

|||Thank you, I figured it out, I needed to change the ODBC connector to named
pipes.

ODBC Invalid DNS Error

I try and remove an entry from ODBC administrator, USER
DSN tab, and i get the error, INVALID DSN.
how can i remove this entry?I had this same problem and after a little searching found a fix at e.ms/archive86-2004-3-446049.html" target="_blank">http://www.mcs
e.ms/archive86-2004-3-446049.html
Here it is:
ODBC entries are controlled in the registry. I would suggest using
regedt32 or regedit (if you are on Win 20003/XP), and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC and try adding full control permissions
for the affected user/groups, replacing the values in the subkeys. Good
luck.

It took a little bit of fighting in my case to get it to take, but when it d
id I logged out then back in and it worked like a charm.
