Hi, Craig,

Thanks for responding. A follow-up question: can I programatically create a DSN/ODBC data source 'on the fly'? Reason is that I have written a fair amount of code that is using pass-through, and I'd like to keep it. [All of a sudden, our development team wants to use a DSN-less connection]. And even if I could [in VFP6], is this recommended?

A second question, more a general one, is which 'approach' for a two-tier app is better...DSN and SPT, or DNS-Less and ADO (and I do realize that I can convert ADO to Cursor and back).

Thanks for your help!
Kevin
