The two double quota following the DSN parameter at the end are escaped quotas (VB syntax), you may have to change this to your language specific escape syntax. The empty DSN parameter is indeed critical as not including it will result in error 7778. OLE DB Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA): “Provider=ASAProv;Data source=myASA” Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) with Data Source .IDS file: “Provider=Sybase ASE OLE DB Provider; Data source=myASE” Note that you must create a Data Source .IDS file using the Sybase Data Administrator.
