[AccessD] DSNs

Here is a discussion I've found useful in the past for creating dsn-less
connections

Here is one I've found that helps with propgramming DSNs:

FYI. If your download and install the XP version of TweakUI you'll find
a
node for 'Control Panel'. There you can check a box and have Data
Sources
(ODBC) show up in the first control panel window instead of having to
open
the admin screen too.

That was it.  And it comes with a little wizard for manually editing the
file.  Cool.

The path on XP is >Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources
(ODBC)

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
