Creating a DSN via odbc - But do i need one at all?

Hi,

I'm writing a vb.net project which uses crystal reports to access the
database ( currently msaccess, but could be changed in the future )

I've found articles in this group, saying dont use odbc, use a dsnless
connection. However can that work with embedded crystal reports? If so how?

If not, then how do i get my setup program to install the dsn? The only code
ive found so far for installing a dsn has been for vb, not vb.net, is it all
done in the same way?

Thanks!
Dan
