I think SQLSTRINGCONNECT() is your ticket. However, I also thought I'd mention that there are different levels of DSN, not just system DSN which does require an admin to install. A user can install a user DSN (only installs for that user), and there's also a file DSN that I believe the user can run. If you go that route, change the name of the dsn so you are certain that you are loading the DSN you intend.
