Am I missing somthing obvious here. I create an ODBC System dataSource
programatically and I can see it in the registry.
However Crystal Reports or ODBC Admin fail to list it. Is there some other
area this info is held?

Chris

If you're sure the key is correct then it should show up.
You may want to check your MDAC installation. You can use
component checker to check MDAC - it's available at:

I am unsure why MDAC would be an issue here. Is this something you have
seen?
I am 100% sure the key is ok. If I use regedit all the settings under ODBC
key are there and correct

Some of the MDAC files are for the ODBC Data Source
Administrator applet.

Post the code you are using. The only way I can reproduce it
if I miss something in code in creating the DSNs.

I am not using VB but in a 4GL so the code may not be useful. However you
said that the only way you can reproduce it is if you miss something in
code.
However if there is something I am missing the VB code (I assume thats what
you are using) that you are using may be illustrative to me where I am going
wrong.

If not is there a list of what needs to be done as I believe I am doing all
that is required to the registry
