Question : ADO connection string

I have an Excel application with an ADO database connection. The connection string is:

"DSN=LIVE_TRICS;DATABASE=" & sTRICSdbName & ";UID=eod_fe;PWD=design2"

My application will be used by several users, each of whom has a differently named DSN, so I need to replace "DSN=LIVE_TRICS" with the specific server details. I need some guidance on what information to take from the ODBC data source administrator (Control Panel/Administrative Tools) and the syntax of the string.
