Did some more research here at home. ODBC data sources set up under "User DSN" show up under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If set up under "System DSN", they show up under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE".

Is there a better way than the VFP FFC class, if the DSN's can be in one or the other place?

>It may be that it's platform-dependent - I have all kinds of ODBC stuff on NT under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC under NT, and this makes sense. I'd have guessed that it might be OS platform dependent except that the same key hierarchy exists on my Win98 box, too.
