I stand corrected.  I just checked and the version I was using *was*
the Office95 version.  When I tried the Office97 version, it wouldn't
"see" either the User or System DSN's that I had defined.  This
is personally very annoying since I've been using System DSN's
for my datasources and performing simple tests with MSQuery
on them.

Hi Michael,

I take it you are using MSQRY32.EXE version 2 which belongs to Office95,
rather than version 8 which belongs to Office97.
