Working with Data Link Properties

Use the Data Link Properties dialog box to specify initialization properties for your OLE DB provider. These properties are saved as a connection string either with your application data or in a .mdl file. Data link properties may vary depending on your OLE DB provider.

If your application supports data link (.mdl) files, you can access the Data Link Properties dialog box at any time from your application or your desktop. If not, then this dialog box is accessible only from your application.

To edit data link properties from Windows Explorer

1. Right-click a .mdl file within an Explorer window or from your desktop, then choose Properties from the menu.
   
   
2. Modify one or more data link properties in the Data Link Properties dialog box.
