Peter,
I think there is a file for this in downloads area.
What I do is a little different and I prefer no to setup ODBC at users registry. Instead I use SQLStringConnect() or 'Create connection ...'
A connection string looks like :
'DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER='+lcServerName+';User Id='+lcUserId+';Password='+lcPw
