Repository GetNewConnection Method
This method obtains a new ODBC connection handle using the same ODBC connection string that the repository engine uses to access the repository database. Using a new ODBC connection handle isolates you from changes made by the repository engine.
This property is not attached to the default interface for the repository Automation object; it is attached to the IRepositoryODBC interface. For more information about accessing a member of an interface that is not the default interface, see Accessing Automation Object Members.
