Probably best to Google it & come back with any questions.
Slightly harder to set up the first time you use it as you need to enter all the connection strings. Once you've done it once its easy.
The big advantage is you only do it once for each application.
You do NOT need to setup ODBC on each workstation so it simplifies distribution in a multi-user network

It is pretty straightforward. Just create a new File DSN similar to how you make a user or machine DSN and use it for linking the tables. DSNless connections will be created.

Hello,
I use a pretty straight forward method. It might apply to your needs. It is a simple VBS (script) that checks for a newer version and installs as necessary. If it is an initial installation, it establishes the directory and makes a custom icon and everything.
I use it becuase I cannot install COTS software on our network but I can use VBS and PowerShell all day long.
