If you have example code on how to loop thru or enumerate the DSN's on your
local machine could you please post it?

Thanks much in advance.

You can find a VBScript sample he

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...5/hey0725.mspx

You can run it from VBA, you only need to replace WScript.Echo with
Debug.Print.

Hope this helps.
