Re: New to SQL, Problem setting up "Data Sources (ODBC)"

Hi Corey,

You haven't said which OS you are using. Mine's in the Administrative Tools
section of the Control Panel. Alternatively (in XP at least) you can run
%systemroot%\system32\odbcad32.exe .

Since you're starting new code have you considered OLE DB? ODBC has been
deprecated.
