Check then set default driver and DSN

[billybobk]

Hi folks, in some of mt VB apps it is necessary for the user to go into the control panel, ODBC settings, and then choose the default driver (Microsoft dBase driver) then type in the System DSN (Goldmine) prior to using the product. Although this isn't THAT big a deal, I'd rather have the program check these settings on form load, and if they're not there, to do it on the fly. Anybody know of a way to do this? Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
