The DSN points to a driver, which points to either a DBC or a "free table directory" (in the case of the VFP ODBC driver).

It's all part of "configuring" the DSN.

>Well, maybe it's a matter of the configuration on the DSN, then. This is something that is sticking in the back of my mind. I have a DBC set up on my web site and I had to do something with it when I set up the driver on my hosting provider's system. Oh, well.
