Brian, It took quite a while before I was able to again gain access to the server in question...but when I did, your instructions solved the problem. I just wanted to send you a delayed but very sincere "THANK YOU!"

There's two ODBC managers on 64 bit windows, one for 32 bit apps and one for 64 bit apps. Which one did you set up your ODBC connection on, the 32-bit one or the 64-bit one, and is your ActiveState 32 or 64 bit? >From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942976: * The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder. * The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder. Thanks, Brian
