I am new to Designer. Have copied the video walk-thru of the previous version of Designer and followed it explicitly with out success. No matter what you stick in there for the dbDSN field, a message box appears stating "dbDSN error" with an OK button only. It makes the connection to the database because you can see the table names listed but as soon as you click the "OK" button in the error message, it wipes the slate clean. Any ideas? Please help!
