ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)
A software driver used by DAO and RDO so they can talk to a specific database. Without for example a Sybase ODBC driver DAO or RDO could not communicate with that database at all. Commercial drivers (often better than free ones) are available at http://www.intersolv.com and most vendors offer FREE drivers.
