Hi Dale,
Just as I original said, the suggested .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL
Server uses its own protocol to communicate with SQL Server. It does not
support the use of an ODBC data source name (DSN) when connecting to SQL
Server because it does not add an ODBC layer.
For System.Data.Odbc, if you do not use the DNS, you can specify the user
id and password in connection string, for more details, please refer to the
link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/
frlrfSystemDataOdbcOdbcConnectionClassConnectionStringTopic.asp
Btw: The .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC is not included in the .NET
Framework version 1.0. If you require the .NET Framework Data Provider for
ODBC and are using the .NET Framework version 1.0, you can download the
.NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads. The namespace for the downloaded .NET
Framework Data Provider for ODBC is Microsoft.Data.Odbc.

| Thank you very much for your response - this is good
| news. I assume this means that there is something wrong
| with my connection string because I keep getting the
| dialog box. I am trying to use a driver to connect to a
| Tandem NonStop SQL box and I am getting the dialog box
| everytime. I haven't found a lot of resources for what
| the connection string should look like.
|
| For a workaround I wrote a function to build the DSN in
| the registry on the fly - this seems to work fine, but I
| don't know if it is the best solution or not.
|
| Thanks again,
| Dale
