invalid configuration parameter for alias

Question: "Invalid configuration parameter for alias {alias_name}" error with ODBC: I get this error when trying to access a database thru an ODBC DSN connection on the ISAPI/NSAPI server. What am I doing wrong? Answer: In order for ODBC to be used as a service and to be accessed by all users (IIS guest account), you need to create a non-standard SYSTEM DSN, not the default USER DSN.
