Hi, I'm trying to find a solution that allows me to configure the system DSN to my database via a .reg file (for use in distributing my app), rather than manually entering it when you load the app.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Steve.

I think you should look into the "file dsn" - where you specify the
connection string via a text file. msdn.microsoft.com is a good reference
for making these and using them. Hacking ODBC connections into the registry
is not a trivial task and it's easy to get it wrong.
I always create the connection string directly within my application, rather
than relying on an external definition - that way there is one less thing to
be misconfigured or deleted accdently by someone who doesn't know what it's
for.
