I hardly ever reply here, but I will say I dislike the datasource model in ODBC.  \
Having customers install and deal with MDAC all the time is a pain.  I'd rather just \
link directly to the db lib.  ADO is worse.  It is horribly boated big which spits \
out SEHs all the time under normal situations.
