I hardly ever reply here, but I will say I dislike the datasource model in 
ODBC.  Having customers install and deal with MDAC all the time is a pain.  
I'd rather just link directly to the db lib.  ADO is worse.  It is horribly 
boated big which spits out SEHs all the time under normal situations.
