Hi All,
I have an Access database that I want to distribute to a couple of end users. I want to create a connection that doesn't require I setup a DSN on their machines. They have access to the DB2 database.
Below is some code that connects using a Pass-Through query however it uses a DSN
I have setup DSN-Less connections to SQL Server using the below:
Using this approach I can just hand off the database to end users and as long as they have access to the SQL Server db they are good I don't have to setup DSNs etc...
Any help if greatly appreciated.
