>Really? I thought this was all encapsulated in the DSN. How could this ever work with service applications? We have two services and one application and all three need access the DB. Sure I can have the user login to the application, but what about the services, they are running before my application gets run. Why do you setup the username/pw and the default database in the DSN if it is not used?
Sorry I got DNS and DSN mixed up in my reply.
But why would you want to use ODBC its and old technology that doesn't work well
with ADO. You do know you are posting in the ADO section?
