Hi again David,

The Data Source Name has nothing to do with PWS, you need to set it up=20
through the control panel in Windows.  Click My Computer on your desktop,=20
then Control panel then the ODBC Data Sources (32 bit) icon in there.  In=20
the window that opens click the System DSN tab then click Add and select=20
the Microsoft Access driver and click Finish.  You'll get another window=20
where you enter the actual name for the data source and provide the path to=
=20
it on your machine by clicking Select and browsing to the actual=20
database.  Don't change anything below that and click OK and you should be=
=20
all set.

HTH!
