Why aren't your friends asking these questions?

There are two uvodbc.config files, one in DSEngine, the other in ANALYZERPROJECT. Have you mentioned the DSN in both?

The right approach is not to touch DSParams programatically.

If you feel you really must (why?), make sure that the routine preserves the previous (last known good) version.

Until you can document a business rule that unambiguously can identify dates of different formats (such as how James suggested) there's nothing more I can add. 12150615 and 15061215 are both valid, but maybe your data don't deal with dates that old.
