With or Without DSN

Aspose.Words Product Family

When I try to use a DSN Name, it doesn't work. For example:

Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Conn.Open "DSN=Northwind"

Set RS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

RS.Open "SELECT * FROM AsposeWordOrderDetails WHERE OrderId = 10444 ORDER BY ProductID", Conn

Doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegionsADO RS, "OrderDetails"

If I use a DSN-less connection, it works:
RS.Open "SELECT * FROM AsposeWordOrderDetails WHERE OrderId = 10444 ORDER BY ProductID", _
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Aspose.Word\Demos\Database\Northwind.mdb"

Any reason why?

It’s hard to tell since I’ve not been using ADO extensively. But my guess there are System wide and User DSNs and you probably need to make sure you use a System DSN since you probably execute the script in IIS and that’s a different user account and does not see your User DSNs.
