>I guess it's time to admit my ignorance! I've never used an ODBC connection. Another possible glitch, I'm using Windows 7 (and the end user isn't). I attempted to follow instructions for setting up a connection, then I found info regarding needing a 32 bit version? I thought I had tracked that down and downloaded it successfully, but even that version bombs on me. When I double click Microsoft Access I get the error: "The setup routines for the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) ODBC driver could not be found. Please reinstall the driver." When I select "OK" I get: "Errors Found: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application".

I'd take that beer...

I dunno... last time I did that was what, seven years ago (time does fly, eh?), and I'm pretty sure I had everything 32 bit then, except maybe the CPU. You may try to download the latest driver, for 64 bit systems, or just try to google out "access odbc driver windows 7 64 bit" and see what you get.

Good luck - I'm running out of ideas.
