Automatically create ODBC connections

Hello everybody!

I'm using the 'Data Sources (ODBC)' program that comes with windows to
create the odbc connections I need. Although that is quite fast and easy I
would like to have it more automated, since I'm using the same parameters
all the time.
Can anybody tell me (or give pointers to) how that is done?

regards

This article (or one of the ones linked from it) might be useful:

If not, you should probably ask this in an ODBC group, since it's not
really an MSSQL question.

Looks like this might solve my problem. Thanks a lot.

I know, but my newsprovider doesn't have any odbc-groups, so I thought
this was close enough....
