How to find DSN info in an Excel 2003 File

[David Wier]

I've got a project that's driving me bonkers.
I have a series of Excel files that use DSN to update/refresh information in
them. I have DSNs on my system for most of them, however, there are a
handful of files, for which no one here knows the connection information or
name for the DSNs it uses.

I need any combination of the following:
1. Where is the DSN information (System DSNs apparently) stored for each
Excel file?
2. How can I find the DSN information the file is trying to use (to create
the DSN myself)?

Thanks
