Using an ODBC DSN (Data Source Name) is a two step process.
1) You must first create the DSN.
2) Then use the following connection string - with your own DSN
name of course :
01. <%
02. Dim objConn as ADODB.Connection
03. Dim objRS as ADODB.Recordset
04. Dim strConn as String
05. Dim strSQL as String
06. Set objConn = New ADODB.Connection
07. Set objRS = New ADODB.Recordset
08. strConn = "DSN=yourdsnname;Uid=databaseusername;Pwd=password;"
09. objConn.Open strConn
10. strSQL = "Select * from tbAddresses "
11. objRS.Open strSQL, objConn
12. %>
