ODBC

You can find the ODBC drivers (2.5) on Microsoft's website (see KBase Article ID: Q135239)...

I've installed these with no problems on a developers PC here and he's happy as a lark... Hope it helps you.

Typically there will not be any ODBC drivers installed in Windows until an application installs them.

Depending on the data source you are trying to access, you will need to download the specific ODBC driver for that software (ie SQL, DB2, etc). Some applications like MS Access will install a variety of ODBC drivers when the program is installed (Since I always use custom setups and select everything).

Once the ODBC driver is installed, there will be few or many settings within the driveritself to configure. Usually the defaults work fine though.

Just remember when you create the DSN (Data Source Name) to make sure you select the apprpriate type.
USER DSN - Only available for use when that user is logged in
SYSTEM DSN- Only available for use on that particular system (PC)
FILE DSN- Those with access to the file can use that DSN (ie the file exists on a network)
