ODBC in Windows 2000

[SylvainG]

Whenever I try to created an ODBC datasource in the ODBC sources folder in Windows on a PC running Windows 2000, I get 'The filename is invalid!' from a 'Save File DSN' dialog box. When I tried to save it to another folder, I was able to get to the very last step of the operation (after picking the Access file). When I clicked finish however, I got 'The file data source was not saved' from a 'Create Data Source' dialog box.
This ODBC is for an RSView32 project that is logging data using a Watcom SQL 4.0 server. Testing worked fine in the office (Windows NT) but will not work on the PC mentioned above.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Are you creating a system or user DSN? It sounds like a rights issue for the user. Try creating a user DSN.

Thanks englishd,

It very well may be a rights issue. I was trying a File DSN on the RSView PC. I was going to try a User DSN next.
After doing some further investigation into the current RSView program, I discovered that the programmers of the RSView PC are making their connection through Visual Basic. This connection may be affecting my operation...
Does anyone know if this is true
