Yup went thought the process they suggest and went smooth as cake. Remember to take the <> out of the example they give for the entries in the ini file... ie: DSN, DB, Username, and Password. That threw me a curve but after looking at the other code in my ini I saw that no of the other valures required the <> so I took um out and bam everything worked and it connected to my existing db with NO changes necessary.
Screw that dbxmda.dll Crap, now I know I'm good to go LONG term
