Registrere ODBC streng ved installation

Not 100% sure I understand what it is your after so I am just guessing.
The information to ODBC data sources is saved in the registry and can be exported to a .reg file which can be used to "automate" th etask of setting up an ODBC data source.

IF this is what you want then first you need to set up the ODBC connection on one PC and then export the information from the registry.
I assume that you know how to set up the ODBC and also open the registry.

You will actually need to export two registry keys and then make one single file which will look like this (this is for a MS SQL Server dB)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources]
"test"="SQL Server"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\test]
"Driver"="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\SQLSRV32.DLL"
"Description"="test of SQL 2000 from XP"
"Server"="(local)"
"LastUser"="TS"
"Trusted_Connection"="Yes"
"Database"="testDB"

I get this information in the regfile:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\AutoMan]
"Driver"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\odbcjt32.dll"
"DBQ"="E:\\Java\\AutoMana\\database\\AutoMana.mdb"
"Description"="Auto"
"DriverId"=dword:00000019
"FIL"="MS Access;"
"SafeTransactions"=dword:00000000
"UID"=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\AutoManager\Engines]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\AutoManager\Engines\Jet]
"ImplicitCommitSync"=""
"MaxBufferSize"=dword:00000800
"PageTimeout"=dword:00000005
"Threads"=dword:00000003
"UserCommitSync"="Yes"

I will try to use the reg-file. Is some of the information unnessesary ?

There should also be a key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources]

ths will contain a line for all sources so you need to only take the one line for yours
It will look like this I would think
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources]
AutoMan"="Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"

then copy it all into one file
and I would think it would look like this.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources]
AutoMan"="Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\AutoMan]
"Driver"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\odbcjt32.dll"
"DBQ"="E:\\Java\\AutoMana\\database\\AutoMana.mdb"
"Description"="Auto"
"DriverId"=dword:00000019
"FIL"="MS Access;"
"SafeTransactions"=dword:00000000
"UID"=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\AutoManager\Engines]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\AutoManager\Engines\Jet]
"ImplicitCommitSync"=""
"MaxBufferSize"=dword:00000800
"PageTimeout"=dword:00000005
"Threads"=dword:00000003
"UserCommitSync"="Yes"

Jeg fandt ud af at løse det til sidst. det er første gang jeg selv har arbejdet med reg-filer. tak for hjælpen.

your welcome and selv tak :o)
