TExcelDSNCreator description
TExcelDSNCreator can be used to add/remove/configure Microsoft Excel Datasource Names

TExcelDSNCreator can be used to add/remove/configure Microsoft Excel Datasource Names (DSNs) on the fly, using just one line of code!

Installation

First, if you have any older or shareware versions of this library, remove all references to these first, this includes removing the package ExcelDSN_Dxx.bpl from your installed packages list. Also check that the path to any of the units has been removed from your library path.

Unzip the package you downloaded.
In Delphi, go to "Components" | "Install Packages" menu item, click on the "Add" button and select ExcelDSN_Dxx.bpl file from the list.
A new page will appear on the component palette (GWACC) with the component(s) on it. In order to compile and run the included example application, as well as any other application you create using this component, you will also need to add the path to the .dcu files to your environment search path.

To do this in Delphi, first locate the file it's looking for (for example c:ExceldsnExceldsncreateunit.dcu), and then by going to "Tools" | "Environment Options" | "Library" and adding the path to the "Library Path" settings. If you don't add the path to the Delphi Library Search Path, you'll get an error when compiling an application that the compiler can not find 'ExcelDSNCreateUnit.pas' or 'ExcelDSNCreateUnit.dcu'.

If you bought the source for the software, simply go to "File" | "Open" in Delphi and select the "ExcelDSN_DX.dpk" package. This was designed for Delphi 4, but will work fine in Delphi 5 and should work for other versions such as Delphi 6, and Borland C++Builder too. In this case it will ask you if you want to upgrade the package to the new format. Answer "Yes", and then click on the "Compile" button. After this is complete, click on the the "Install" button to install the component on the GWACC page (default) or on the page you selected. See above about adding the path to the units to the Delphi library search path if you get any errors during compilation.
