Hey All :),

I was wondering if someone could help me in regards to this problem.

I have set up a System DSN for users to access data on a VB.net Application that I have developed. However, do not want users to access this DSN file for other programs like MS Excel (i.e. using the Import External Data Tool).

Is there a way to allow user to use the DSN only in certain applications?

Thanks.
 
Thanks for your help but unfortunately I tried create a DSN-less connection first, when building this application. However I discovered that it was impossible to do it (something to do with the limitation with the database.
 
Thanks for the suggestion :).

Currently I have a System DSN and set their user privileges so only certain people can access the .dsn file (which I’m guessing the same effect as setting user dsn).
