access database to the OBDC datasources in control panel.
ThanksHere's something that I did in Kixtart for our environment. It was last
November, so I don't recall all the details. Some key values I would expect to
vary, as I have six (6) scripts for all the data sources we have. I figured out
what to do by checking the registry, and creating a script that would duplicate
what I had done manually.
Also, since it was three (3) PCs ago, I don't recall what OS it was. Since I've
been here, I've had three (3) PCs. This one is XP, the previous was w2k and the
first? MAY have been NT. I mention this as I don't know if it'll require any
changes in the script.
Here it is (between the lines of '=========='):

I don't think that I fully finished, so I'd tread lightly, but hopefully this'll
get you started.
