I'm wondering if there are any scripting gurus out there that can help with my situation. Here goes...
So I've made this .NET application that manages an engineering firm's drawings, this application allows for data to move from a drawing to a database and vice versa. Now here's the problem, those drawing files are opened with an application that needs to have a DSN set up on it. My idea is that this DSN can be created using a batch file or some vbs script, and the script can be run once the application is installed. Otherwise we will have to go to each and every one of about 700 workstations, and manually set up the DSN there. But as with everthing there's a twist. I know how to create a vbs script to create a DSN, but I don't know how to make it use a standard username and password. We have a SQL login that is to be used, but the only way I've seen to make these DSN scripts uses Integrated Authentication, as opposed to the SQL authentication. Any gurus out there with an idea as to how this can be achieved?

do you mean DNS?

This topic should be moved to the .NET portion of thescripts.com website
Thank you, and yes I am sure there is a script out there for your problem.

No - a DSN is a Data Source Name which allows a connection to a foreign data source for database access generally.
I think you can try this registry technique for adding System DSN

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\OD BC\ODBC.INI]

You will find too many specific items in there for it to work generally I'm afraid.
Most particularly, the IP address of your server.

This is about debugging server side scripts that make calls to

What I want from debugging is to be able to step into the methods in
the DLLs called from ASP scripts using Visual Studio .NET.
