Contrary to what you might expect from the names, System32 contains the *64 bit* libraries and SysWOW64 the *32 bit*, if you mix that up things won't work. Also make sure you are using the right ODBC Administrator; the odbcad32.exe in System32 is *64 bit*, the one in SysWOW64 is *32 bit*. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel
