Can I use a script variable in the 'Driver Name:' entry field? The help
states:
"The name of the Driver used by this Data Source. This value can be a
Driver, which already exists on the target system, or a Driver being
installed."

It mentions nothing about using a script variable.

Also - is there a way to see if the 'Data Source Name' already exists?

Windows stores the DSN ODBC in registry keys under SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI,
in HKLM for System DSN and in HKCU for User DSN.

So you only have to use one of the "Get Registry..." script functions to see
if it already exists.

Yes, it should be possible to use a variable here.
