how to create ODBC driver to let the application access or share a database in windows?
anyone can help me??

why can't you use an existing driver?
what type of database do you want to access?
If it's Access (Jet), then simply use DAO or ADO.

I would also like to create an ODBC driver, specifically install the Jet 3.51 ODBC driver under a different name. My problem is that Crystal Reports 7 does not work with the Jet 4.0 ODBC driver, and installing Office 2000 overwrites the Jet 3.51 driver. I would like to have the 3.51 driver reside on another directory and register that driver under a separate name so that it is not overwritten.

use ado to access the database. you have to instantiate a connection object specify the connection string and create a recordset based on your requirements.
