Hi there,

Use ODBC connection instead. Please do a little bit of research on ODBC & DSN for further understanding. Good luck & take care.

Kindly refer to below for the advantages of using DSN,


1.)Database is protected

2.) No data redundancy (no duplicate records provided proper database locking technique is applied)

3.)Multiuser
