You have to use this DSN name (in your case it is sonia) in
your VB code wherever you wish to establish a connection
between your VB application and your SQL server 2K database.

You can used DSN Less Code here (which is more usefull
andimportant insteated of using DSN Coz when you run that
Application on Different PC, then you have to crete DSN
again..)
DSN Less Code for Connection MS ACCESS: or can connect any
db just need to change its provider:
dim con as new adodb.Connection
con.open "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;" & "Data
Source= ur db path (there is no space btn Folder and File
Name)"

Answer / abdul khadeer
After creating the DSN. You can use that DSN to access the
DATA.
For Example U Can Use the ADODB connection Object to
connect the Database by using ur DSN created.
For Example Say "Con" is object ADODB.Connection
Then open ur coonection.
Con.Open "MyDSN","UserName","Password"
Now the conection created, Now u can use this connection
object with ur record set oject to retirve the data

You also can create the DSN Programatically as follows
Creating DSN Programatically
Private Sub ConfigDSN()
On Error Resume Next
#If Win32 Then
Dim intRet As Long
#Else
Dim intRet As Integer
#End If
Dim strDriver As String
Dim strAttributes As String
Dim msmdbpath As String
' sdPathName = App.path & "\PROJECT.mdb"
strDriver = "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"
strAttributes = "SERVER=" & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "DESCRIPTION=OJAL Data
Souce Name" & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "DSN=INT" & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "DATABASE=" &
sdPathName & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "MaxBufferSize=512" &
Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "PageTimeOut=5" & Chr$(0)
strAttributes = strAttributes & "DBQ=" & sdPathName &
Chr$(0)
intRet = SQLConfigDataSource(vbAPINull,
ODBC_CONFIG_DSN, strDriver, strAttributes)
End Sub
