Hey, if they fire him they should fire me too!  I don't think he changed the dsn name, he changed the machine name.  Is that bad practice? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Johansen To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 5:30 PM Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: DSN Question First thing first you FIRE the DBA, (any DBA worth his salt know that changing the name of a DSN is not good practice). Then set the name back ;-)   if this is not an option.   then you are going to have to go through every TAF/TCF and change the reference. you can do this with a text editor or a GREP (global replace and edit)   You might want to give the DBA a call   Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com -Authorized WiTango Reseller  http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm -Authorized Alt-N Reseller  http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm -----Original Message----- From: John Shaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 9:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: DSN Question This is going to sound stupid, but how do you change the DSN in Witango?  I can't find any kind of Witango control panel or admin tool.  And, Witango doesn't show up in the Programs list.  How do I get to a screen that lets me reset the DSN?   John ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Dittbrenner To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 10:46 AM Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: DSN Question Dear John   Did you change the datasource again in witango. It send location and db name when you set it, so you may have to reset that.   Sincerely   Michael Dittbrenner   **************************************** Educational Directories Unlimited, Inc.
