• Oh holy cow of embarrassment....You are on a 64bit machine and trying to setup a DSN to a 32bit machine right? The DSN utility on a 64bit machine creates a 64bit DSN and you need the 32bit version.

    The 32bit ODBC can be found at: %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe

    You will notice when open this up that the DSNs you already created are not there. Let me know if that is the issue.
