If you want to make your DNS's available to other users, you need to create
them as system DSN's. This is not a ZServer specific issue. When you run a
service, it doesn't have the same sort of access to the system as a program
you run manually from a batch file.

Notice in Control Panels/ODBC that you can choose between "User DSN" and
"System DSN". Recreate your DSN as a System DSN, and I bet that all will be
well.

Good luck.
