Jim, Do you have "Microsoft Access Developer's Guide to SQL Server" or "Access 2002 Enterprise Developer's Handbook"? Both of these go into all the detail you need.

I've used ODBC using a DSN but I don't have any idea how to use OLEDB. I did some research on the issue, but all I found was the connection string but nothing that told me what to do with it. Where do I put it? Is it better than using a DSN? Are there any maintenance issues when deploying to multiple machines on a LAN? Many Thanks in advance.
