Thanks for your response. That may work, but I'd like to hang on for a couple of days to see if anyone else has something to offer before accepting it as the only solution.<br />
Thanks again.

Is there a command line, script or (free) executable that can be used to test ODBC connections for ones workstation? I do not want to utilize the ODBC Test in the GUI. I see that ODBCping was removed from SQL 2005.<br />
Thanks and hearts,<br />
