    Don't bother: C/ODBC is the same as NODBC.

    I'll try again: C/ODBC is the same as NODBC. What part you don't understand?

    Quoting from the ChangesInNAVW14.0.doc:
    3.1 Navision ODBC Driver
    Features
    The Navision ODBC Driver is the implementation of the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) for Microsoft® Business Solutions-Navision®. The Navision ODBC Driver lets you transfer data between a Navision database and any program that supports ODBC.
    The Navision ODBC Driver replaces C/ODBC.

    The Navision ODBC Driver replaces C/ODBC.

    Starting from Navision 4.0, there is no C/ODBC driver, only a NODBC driver. But it's just a change of name, the functionality is the same.
    Before Navision 4.0, there is no NODBC driver, only a C/ODBC driver.

    and you can have both on your systems at the same time. Were as before you could only have one Codbc driver on your system.

    Helps in transistion for one system to the next. As I have both drivers still in use, during upgrade. So at different times I can access Navision 2 database, and others Navision 4 database.

    ok cool... by the way- C/ODBC is the API in navision or CFRONT?

    C/Front is the API (an ocx or dll).
    C/ODBC (now NODBC) is an ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) driver.

    Do you make it right, it works too!
