msaccess

Hi,

We have a Microsoft Access database + application (on Server A) which connects to a remote SQL server (Server B) using System DSN ODBC connection (on Server A) to the SQL database server.

The users are open this Access database remotely as it is on a shared location on the server A. They still have to create a local ODBC connection on their computers to connect to Server B.

Is there anyway that they can access the Access database and not have to create a local ODBC connection?

thanks in advance
