RegSetValueEx to Create ODBC Entries

[Microanalytics]

I am using CVI 5.0.1 and would like to create ODBC entries without using the ODBC manager in Administrative Tools.   I do not have access to the new CVI functions:

RegWriteString()

which would make it simple.  Any sample code using the SDK functions such as RegSetValueEx would be helpful.  I have written a sample program containing:

const char dname[] = "V2002ERR";
LONG kstat;
  
   
    kstat = RegSetValueEx(HKEY_USERS,"Software\\ODBC\\ODBC.INI\\ODBC Data Sources",0,REG_SZ,dname,8);

It returns a 0, which is ERROR_SUCCESS, but does not write the key value.  I am missing something somewhere.

Thanks in advance, David

The instruction seems syntactically correct, but... which system are you running you app on? HKEY_USERS key does not contain a "Software" key, which can be found instead in HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_USERS\(userID) keys (at least on WinXP & Win7 systems).

Having said that, CVI5 is quite an old system that can have problems while running on systems from XP on

I'm running XP Pro.  I am moving all my applications to Win 7 this year.  Currently downloading the new CVI and if I can get that to create ODBC entries, then I will upgrade.  Time to upgrade anyway.

Is this functionality (ODBC create) in the new SQL Toolkit?

Thanks, Dave
