Largo ha sido el camino transitado hasta encontrar la solución a uno de mis grandes dilemas.
Ahora que ya he conseguido hacerlo, lo comparto con el mundo.
El crear DSN’s de forma dinámica en tiempo de ejecución nos permite configurar y utilizar las conexiones de los controles y data reports sin miedo a futuros cambios.
El código lo he organizado en un módulo.
