[AccessD] DSNs

Not at all.  I don't know this stuff

>Control Panel > Data Sources (ODBC)

I don't have that.  Windows XP Profession SP2

>HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI

I don't understand this one.  Is this a directory path?  A registry key?

Hopefully I'm not being condescending.

If this is for your machine only:

Control Panel > Data Sources (ODBC)

If you need it programmable:
HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI

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?
