The AddRegKV program is provided to help set an ODBC keyword-value pair in the Windows registry entry. I. How to run as a program: 1. At the DOS Prompt type: AddRegKV "The DSN name" AllowDataCompression 1 2. Then hit ENTER. Notes: a. Replace "The DSN name" with the target DSN b. Replace AllowDataCompression with the desired keyword c. Replace 1 with the desired value d. This will add or modify one keyword-value pair in one DSN per call to the program. e. Make sure that the odbccp32.dll is in the windows\system32 folder. II. How to run as a batch file: 1. Create a batch file with NotePad or any ASCII editor 2. The text in this batch file should be similar to the followings: AddRegKV "The DSN name 1" AllowDataCompression 1 AddRegKV "The DSN name 1" AllowSomeThingElse 0 ..... AddRegKV "The DSN name n" AllowDataCompression 1 AddRegKV "The DSN name n" AllowSomeThingElse 0 Notes: a. Replace "The DSN name 1" with the target DSN b. Replace AllowDataCompression with the desired keyword c. Replace 1 with the desired value d. The above example of the batch file shows that one can call this program against different DSNs and change different keyword-value pairs. e. The batch file can be stored in a shared folder so it can be executed from different PCs. f. This program will modify the existing keyword-value pair with no warning so user should use it with caution.
