The Appx ODBC client allows you to access APPXIO data from external applications such as Excel, Crystal Reports, and other ODBC compliant applications. These applications will format the appropriate SQL command and the selected data will be returned. Products such as Visual Basic do not all have a clear user interface for the user to build the necessary command. The following code is provided by Ed Griffith as an example of using VB coding to execute a SQL command from VB to access APPXIO data. This is just a model and will have to be modified to fit your own needs.
