I have a program that has several parts which use separate db's. ONe is to be installed prior to the second and use a bundled sysmanager to do so. I get the first part to work as it should, but a sysinfo check shows that the ODBC driver cannot be found. Therefore I can't access the database. I've used this program for several years with my PC having win98 (app written for 95 Or 98) and XP home,however, since my PC crashed and I reinstalled ONLY XP, I can't get this 2nd part to function after installation. File system is NTFS and no longer Fat 32 since reformatting. I would think that if the first part works fine, both should. Any suggestions?

Thank for the suggestions. As you can see, the ODBC driver is what's needed here. Everything else works. {The monitor resolution is 1024X768; this is correct. The number of possible colors is 4294967296. The ODBC driver Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) has been successfully installed! The database has been tested: (The ODBC driver for the database etk could not be found!) The HTK is not installed; the database will therefore not be tested. The TIS database has been tested: The connection with the database tis_sa has been made successfully. 45 database tables have been found.} Why would only 1 part of the program work when it was fine before? I would expect it to be completely non-functional. The ODBC driver is the issue.

I was'nt able to get my head around ODBC, other than one format not reading the other. This may help.
