Use the Provider tab to select the appropriate OLE DB provider for the type of data you want to access. Not all applications allow you to specify a provider or modify the current selection; this tab is displayed only if your application allows the OLE DB provider selection to be edited. You can save a data link with the application itself or as a separate file. For more information about creating a data link, see "Creating a Data Link" in the MDAC SDK.

Note You can navigate directly to the Connection tab by double-clicking the desired provider. For more information about Data Links, see the Data Link API Reference.
