If you are on XP (as you say) there is an ODBC Manager separate from all other programs. Look under Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> (this is where I get lost. I don't use XP at work.) -> Data Sources (ODBC). That's the tool I wanted you to use, not Access. You don't need to use MS Access in order to work with ODBC DSNs ( unless you really want to.) If you can create a sucessful "system" DSN connection (I don't create "user" DSNs for applications, I always make them "system" DSNs) then what problem are you having telling SigmaPlot to use the DSN you created?
