Does anyone know how I can bring the odbc administrator up in my app so that the user can select an odbc connection from "inside" my app and that value then get passed back form odbc administrator to my app?

That is a Windows API type of programming. Where you actually manipulate a UI Control from Windows. I am not sure how, and it would depend on the language you are doing it in? .NET or Non-.NET??
As well, Why would you want to do that? The user should not have access to you ODBC connection directly. And the error handling to consider. Ouch. What if they selected a SQL connection as oppose to an Access or Oracle connection? Kind of hard to avoid.
Why not setup several DSN's that you are coding to use, and have a "pseudo" odbc dialog come up in your program to mimic the one in windows. ????
