Does anyone know how to load a Data source name for ODBC
via vbscripts? I have been looking and looking and cannot
find it. This is the last step I need to get rid of an
install shield file we do not want to use any more. Thanks

Tony

For system DSNs you can use RegWrite method to create the keys/ values.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources

and also the subkey for each DSN
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\

Thanks Dave,

I was looking along those lines, but was unsure that was
the way to do it.
