I believe the confusion you are having is between "high-level" and 
"low-level" ODBC access.

The samples show "low-level", where you explicitly do everything -- open the 
connection, run queries, scroll through record sets, and so on.

The "high-level" access is where you use define files to define a 
non-filePro file connected to an ODBC data source.  Once defined (with some 
limitations), you then access that file as you would any other filePro file.
