You have to set up an ODBC DSN on the client.  You have to build a connect
string fot the TADOConnection.  Drop a TADOConnection object on a form.
Click the elipsis on its connection string property anf then select
"Build..." from the resulting dialog.  You can experiment with the input
parameters and get an example connection string from there.
