I run an app with a DSN connection. Since the DB is growing quickly I was thinking that switching to DNSless might be a good idea. The app has at least 25 ASP pages with code such as "rs.Open q, "DSN=web1.file"". Am I looking at a nightmare project here?

Not really a nightmare if you have a text editor capable of search and replace on closed documents.

My suggestion would be to place such information into a variable in an include file so you only have to replace it once.
