Is it possible to connect to a DSN that isn't resident to the www server
machine? If it is, what would be a typical connection string for an Ms
Access Type DSN or SQL type DSN?
Please help.
Thanks

Of course not, the DSN has to reside on the machine itself.
However, a DSN can of course point to a database on any machine in the
network.
When you set up the DSN, for an Access database type in the full UNC
path,
and for SQL server simply choose the server from the dropdown or enter
it.
