Ivan, where would we define those environment variables?

I am programming with ansi-C in Visual Studio 2005. For some reason
attach_database doesn't like the DPB I send it.

Example:

char* user_name = "SYSDBA";
char* user_password = "masterkey";

char dpb_buffer[256], *dpb, *p;
short dpb_length;

dpb = dpb_buffer;
*dpb++ = isc_dpb_version1;
*dpb++ = isc_dpb_user_name;
*dpb++ = strlen(user_name);
for (p = user_name; *p;)
*dpb++ = *p++;

*dpb++ = isc_dpb_password;
*dpb++ = strlen(user_password);

for (p = user_password; *p;)
*dpb++ = *p++;


Thanks
