First, create a system DSN through the control panel.
What I'm doing in Access is to create links to the ADSM tables through
the tables menue
(File -> External data -> Link tabels, select ODBC database as file type).
Then I select the created system DSN as a computer data source (don't
know the exact term because I use a German version). Then I'm prompted
for a ADSM userid and password. I only have to give it once for each
session.

Hope this helps.
