    Hi Ben,

    Have a look at this website it has lots of different connection string
    examples http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm

    I'll ask a silly question too, why do you need to use a DSN to connect to
    SQL server? I is faster to use the .net SQL Server provider.

    Cheers
    Paul
