Hello folks,

Thank you for taking the time to help me get my feet wet.

I'm reading "Beginning ASP databases" from Wrox and I'm learning alot abo
ut DSN connections. Is this still a current technology and do you recomme
nd using it? If not, please recommend a book or resource that can point m
e in the right direction. 

Advice Welcomed!

That book is great!  DSN (Data Source Names)  is just an option of database
connectivity.  I would recommend using the full path for your connection
string by setting the connection to a variable in a separate file, then
using an include for all pages that uses that connection.  You may find that
information is Chapter 6: "ADO Connections" (I think) in that book.  
 
HTH...
