Thanks...Thats a really great msdn article...

However, the problem is not on a windows box...

I have the correct DSN for windows with no problem... 

The problem, is 
1) Getting a working ODBC driver on the Mac
2) Getting a working DSN so the ODBC manager will select that driver...
on the mac

Thanks again
Scott

Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms811006.aspx .
It obviously doesn't say anything about Macs, but it contains all useful
information about DSN for Microsoft SQL Server. At least I could connect
to a local instance of MSSQL server (versions 2000 and 2008 Express)
from my Qt application. That was a requirement of the client to use
local instances, but I guess that using the server across network
shouldn't be much harder.
