>>I have been trying to research how to progmatically create a System DSN. When the application starts for the first time I would like to check to see if an ODBC data source exists, if not, I would like to create it for the user. It doesn't make sense to go to every PC into their control panel and create a DSN for every machine the app is installed on.

If you guys actually need to hit a data source via ODBC why not consider using ADO with a DSN-less connection....

I do it now through both VFP and VB apps running ASP pages. Works great.
