Sorry if I'm asking the obvious but are you calling the page through your=20

have to load it through something like http://localhost/myform.asp.  Second=

thing is that you should set up a DSN and make sure you type it exactly the=

seeing the code we can't help you much more than this.  I can establish=20
ODBC connections just fine on my machine running PWS on a Win 98 SE=20
machine.  Send us the relevant bits of code and maybe we can help you more.
