Howdy,

I'm trying to set up the new Oracle 10g ODBC driver and it seems to be
crashing the MS ODBC Data Source Administrator. After downloading and
exploding the files on my drive, I used the Oracle Universal Installer to set
it up. As the next step, I tried to add it using the ODBC Administrator, but
every time I try the Administrator program crashes. I'm trying to install on
the same server that's running Oracle in order to establish a connection on
the same server. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Alternatively,
has anyone tried using the MS ODBC for Oracle driver (version 2.575.1022.00,
dated 03/25/03). I had been advised against using this one with Oracle 10g.

My environment is as follows:

 OS: MS Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
 DB: Oracle 10g, version 10.1.0.2.0
 ODBC Driver: Oracle in ODBC, version 10.01.00.31
 MS ODBC Administrator: version 3.525.1022.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve
