Building Applications Using an ODBC Driver Manager

Link ODBC applications to the Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager on Windows platform.

The Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager includes either a DLL named odbc32.dll or an import library named odbc32.lib

The odbc32.dll file is located in %SystemRoot%\system32. The odbc32.lib file can appear in a number of locations, depending on which products you have installed. If you use Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, the odbc32.lib is located in the %Install Path to Microsoft Visual Studio%\ Vc7\PlatformSDK\Lib.

To link an ODBC application to the Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager, use odbc32.lib.
