' Note To Poor Smuck Who Inherits This Code:
' I wrote this before I had learned that the DB is not the answer to everything, and WAY
' before the word Volume was ever uttered at BTI. I'm sorry for the maintance headache
' the DSS is going to be. I write you this note not to help you but out of guilt. It is
' now over a year after I wrote this interface and I see what Frankenstin has become.
//03/12/2004 Chris This silly function returns a DB connection of type ODBCConnection...
//in other words a .net DB access method. We are transitioning to it so for now we are dualy
//supporting this.
//05/13/2003 Chris This is more a utilitarian function. It will dump to the text file specified
//all the properties and such needed to make a DB class. Its pretty basic right now, but then again so are my needs.
//03/01/2000 Chris Hill Man this function needs to be broken up. This was how it looked when I got it. Anytime
//I make a change I break it up further and further, hopefully some day making it a proper looking function.
//02/16/2001 Chris Hill It finally happened. FormatOMElecRecord and ValidateOMElecRecord
//drifted far enough apart to cause several bugs. I am tired of maintaining two almost
//identical functions so I merged them. Their are enough differences to make this a messy
//merge at best, but a great deal of the function is still joint. It will also inprove with time.
