Eric,

The dUFLP also has a createODBC.prg. As long as the INIT|Auto ODBC 
setting is true (which is the default) then you ODBC DSN should show up 
automatically.

I have an ODBC driver "Visual FoxPro Database" ready in windows data
source 
,system DSN
and I use this .prg to create a Database in BDE
=================
if b.databaseFound( "VFP" ) = false
      b.CreateAlias( "VFP", "", "Microsoft Visual
FoxPro Driver" )
endif
=================
how to continue to tell dBase to setup
OPEN MODE = READ ONLY
ODBC DSN = "Visual FoxPro Database"
?
can it be done by using bdealias.cc  ?  how ?

--------
As Geoff said, with "AUTO ODBC" = true, your ODBC DSN should show up
in the 
BDE Administrator. You don't need to create it again in the BDE.

After looking at bdeAlias.cc, I don't think it can be done. To open the 
database readOnly, you could use a custom query with requestlive = false.
