If i can't then i need to supply at a bare minimum a blank database container with the application.
Yep... I was about to suggest that ;-)
The FileDSN is simply a text file with some parameters. Open one up in your favourite text editor and have a look.
You should be able to create them from a standard template into which you can fill in the gaps, like path etc.
As far as I know, you shouldn't need to add anything to the system as such, as all the information you require will be in that file.
You may need to experiment til you get the hang of it.
