Stephen told you that you need a connection. You have to determine how the connection is established. DSNs are easy to maintain and allow the users to switch to different servers and different databases on servers, but you have to establish them on every machine where the app is run. You can programmatically create and manipulate the DSNs so it is easier for you users. DSN-less connections are via connection strings. You have to manage this too, but it is all string manipulation. Either way, you just tell the connection mechanism you choose to point to a different server, or database, or both. The good news: it is all fundamentally the same no matter what database you are using, just a different ODBC/OLE DB driver, or different connection strings.
