Hi David.

Then neither the ODBC datasource nor the DSNless connection will work.

>I am using a DNSless connection. According to the MSFT knowledge base article the user adds the Access table to the ODBC Administrator.

That's not necessary. I don't know about you, but I'd rather avoid having my user go into the ODBC Administrator if possible. All you need to know is the name and path for the MDB file and you can make a connection with no user intervention or having to explain how to use the ODBC Administrator.
