Cetin,

That was fast and I'm very grateful.

Let's say the backend is DB2 and there is nothing on the PC that smells even remotely like DB2.

Will your suggestion still work, or will I need to install DB2 ODBC drivers on all machines?

And another question: How do I get the NT/Windows user id & password and use it in the connection string?

>>Oh and btw, while you're at it, you also need to go to a couple of thousand user's PC's and manually set up ODBC and the DSN's.
