There is an article written there on programatically creating odbc connections and such. It might help in finding out how to create a system dsn.

>>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.
