>1. Have multiple DSN's defined and switch the .Connect property to point to
the correct one.

I build a new database for each order, thus the reason for editing the DSN

>2. Redefine a single DSN.

In a text editor I assume?

>3. Provide all the connection information in the .Connect property and go
DSN less.

I didn't state it, but these are for linking tables out of the SQL Server
database.

John,

1. Have multiple DSN's defined and switch the .Connect property to point to
the correct one.
2. Redefine a single DSN.
3. Provide all the connection information in the .Connect property and go
DSN less.

Jim.

I am working with Access as the FE to processing orders where I need to
export to a fixed width file because Access stores the format, which is
convenient until I come up to speed on how to do something similar in SQL
Server.  The issue is that the DSN is specific to a database name.  How can
I edit that to point to a different database?
