Datasource through VB code

When i make a datasource by directly making the new keys in the registry and
putting the values in those keys(all through VB Code), it creates the
datasource in the registry and that and i m also able to use that datasource
in the ADO commands thorugh VB but when i goto 'Control Pane->Administrative
Tools-> ODBC Datasources' and see the listing of the datasources, the newly
made datasource is NOT SHOWN UP in that list.

Though if i check the registry, the registry keys(corresponding to the new
datasource) are visible...

Please suggest.
Thanks.
