The connections are created programmatically then destroyed.

Is there an OLE DB administrator to create data sources like there is for creating ODBC DSNs in the registry? Or, are the connections only created programmatically only persist until the connection is destroyed? I am aware of how to create a .udl file but this is not an acceptable way for me to provide connection information to my crystal reports.
