Are you referring to a deployable method? <br />
I might think you could have a local user, on a machine, restricted user, edit them by granting &quot;Full Control&quot; to the following reg key.....<br />
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR<wbr />E\ODBC<br />
Can include in a startup script, a method using regini to modify permissions if it works in testing....<br />
