Cannot add ODBC Data Source

[missjen]

Hi!

I have recently upgraded from Win98 to Win2000 OS. Prior to the upgrade, I had successfully added new system data sources through the ODBC Data Source Administrator (for connecting to remote tables within my local MS Access program). Now, after the upgrade, as I attempt to add a new system data source, the following happens:

1. Under the System DSN tab (in the ODBC Data Source Administrator window), I click on the "Add.." button.

2. The Create New Data Source window appears, in which I select the "Oracle ODBC" driver and click the "Finish" button.

3. Instead of taking me to the driver-specific setup dialog box, it returns me to the the ODBC Data Source Administrator window...nothing happens!

The driver-specific setup dialog box doesn't seem to appear at all, in either the User DSN or System DSN tabs, whether or I choose to "Add" another source or "Configure" an existing source.

How can I fix this? Is this the result of the system upgrade?

Thanks.

Are you logging in as the administrator? If not, does the user you're logging in as have administrator rights on the PC?

Yes, I am the administrator. Apparently, reinstalling my Oracle software solved the problem. Thank you very much for your response, nonetheless.
