Can you explain what you are trying to do, because I don't understand your question.

This would be an ASP question really. I think he's trying to enumerate through all DSNs on the system.

The system DSN's are all stored in the registry under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ODBC\ODBC.INI

You're NOT going to be able to access the registry with basic VBScript or Javascript.

Good Luck

You'll have to write a COM component to do this, in VB or maybe C++, and then call it from the ASP page.

is there any other direct way through asp tp do this......

Normally, I would delete this as a duplicate post, but in this case...
waqas1, "You'll have to" is very unambiguous.
