Just a thought for future versions, it'd be really nice to be able to build the connection on the fly without a predefined DSN. All you would have to know is the server name. It works that way in VB and makes it much easier to move programs and data.

To do this double click the datasource in your .taf file. Where you see "Set deployment datasource", select "Specify" and unselect "Same as development". The parameters for the deployment datasource will become available for editing. You can populate them with a specified string or a variable. For example: Type: ODBC Name: <@var local$DSN> User: <@var local$User> Password: <@var local$password> <- the password can be tricky as it only shows password characters so you need to ensure that you type it in correctly.

If there anyway to include a file giving either the connection string or dsn name so that tango can use it. This means I would be able to change the name of the DSN withiout having to edit the Tafs.
