This instruction is meant for use with Microsoft Windows 2000, 
			but setup would be similar on other Windows operating systems.  
			This also refers to setting up a Microsoft Access XP DSN, 
			but once again, setting up other versions of Access would be similar. 
			This is a quick reference and does not go in depth about each of the choices.
			Following these steps exactly will properly create a system DSN
			for a Microsoft Access database.
