Re: Problems setting up a DSN

Daniel, If you are accessing an Access 2k database, I would use OLEDB rather than ODBC. With this you would not require a DSN, and the speed is greater. ex. $conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection"); $connString = 'PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=F:\someMDB.MDB;User Id=Foo;Password=Bar'; $conn->Open($connString); $rs = $conn->Execute("SomeSQL"); $conn->Close(); "Daniel Parsons" <daniel.parsons@imlnetwork.com> wrote in message news:BGEJJKPALPIPJFCEDFNLMECKCBAA.daniel.parsons@imlnetwork.com... > Hi, > > I'm running PHP 4.0 on WinNT 4 with IIS and attempting to use an Access > 2000 database.
