[dba-Tech] VBScript

Ok, I give up again. I've spent all morning looking on Google for examples
of a script I can modify to create the correct DSN. Has anyone got an
example?

Oh, that was simple <blush>. Yes, I imagine that'd work... I'll give that a
go.

Thanks for the suggestion Andrew :-)

Yuk. What type of application needs a mapped connection *per user* ?
Must be pretty ancient.  System DSN no good?

Hi all
 
I've got a database running that needs an ODBC connection to be mapped
for each user on each computer, and it's getting a little tiresome
having to open control panels, and fill in the boxes each time someone
new uses a computer - to put it in perspective, there are 130 users and
130 PCs - the combinations are potentially huge...
 
So I was wondering it it would be possible to write a scipt to do it for
me that I can include in their login scripts on the server or
something... but I don't know the first thing about VB Scripts. Would
anyone be willing to talk me through it?
