Creating DSN Programatically

Private Sub ConfigDSN()
On Error Resume Next
#If Win32 Then
Dim intRet As Long
#Else
Dim intRet As Integer
#End If
Dim strDriver As String
Dim strAttributes As String
Dim msmdbpath As String


' sdPathName = App.path & "\PROJECT.mdb"
strDriver = "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"
strAttributes = "SERVER=" & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "DESCRIPTION=OJAL Data
Souce Name" & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "DSN=INT" & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "DATABASE=" &
sdPathName & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "MaxBufferSize=512" &
Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "PageTimeOut=5" & Chr$(0)
