[AccessD] SQL Server Connect strings

I always use full DSN-less connection strings for portability of the application.    No need to 
worry about whether the DSN is present on every workstation and it's easy to change in an 
update to the FE if you need to change your connection ( say been a live and a training BE 
database).

(A very common typo in the interent age, it's DSN (data source name) not DNS ( domain 
name system)
