Hi,

would like to connect access database using odbc driver connection string but not with the attribute Dbq/DSN. i would like to connect the database using SERVER attribute in the connection string for access. Is it possible?

C#

//Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};Dbq=C:\mydatabase.accdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;


//Dsn=DatabaseName

I have tried this two but we want the attibute server instead of Dbq or DSN.
