The information in this article applies to:
- The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), when used with:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions 4.1
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition 5.0

This article was previously published under Q249611 SYMPTOMS
When a program dynamically links to Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), the MFC Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) classes use an ODBC environment handle (HENV) that is declared local to the MFC DLL. Therefore, these programs do not have access to the MFC HENV.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the MFC ODBC classes are not designed to make the HENV available to the programmer.
STATUS
This problem has been fixed with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.
Use the global MFC function AfxGetHENV to obtain the HENV.
