Hi all,
Ive got a strange one here . . .

We have a server W2k3 with around 50 System DNS ODBC entries.

I just noticed that some are missing. They all were added with the GUI tool (no reghacks here), but some that exist, work ok are lissing when I go to the SYstem DSN panel.
Anyone have an idea why, and if I can fix this somehow?

Sometimes it just needs a good kicking.
 
Are you sure that they are System DSNs and not File DSNs? I know you said system but it never hurts to check!
 
sure
they are present in HKLM/software/odbc/odbc.ini
anywhere else i can check too?

also...
if i delete the key present at this point in the registry, and then I recreate it in the GUI, its not present . . . .
