ODBC Connection to Multiple Access Databases

TS
Does anyone have any experience creating an ODBC Connection to multiple
Access databases?

I need to be able to connect several databases, rather than linking to the
tables.

My only experience with ODBC is connecting to Progress databases. Progress
uses parameter files where you can specify any number of databases with the
one DSN. Referencing the data is [logical database name].[table
name].[field name], although you can omit the database if the tables are
unique.

TIA

You can't use ODBC to connect from an Access database to another Access
database.
