Hi Sergey,

I am talking about any ODBC driver. What I was thinking is, for instance, let us say there is a comma delimited text file which is also in the defined DSN directory. Would it be possible to find that file via DSN commands? Now, reading your last reply it seems that a DSN can only be used to access valid data sources only, and I think that is the answer. Is this correct? And thank you for you patience.
