Hi, I knew several weeks ago that I had 2 versions of the ODBC administrator (in control panel) but I ignored that since it was causing me no problems. Well, now, I am encountering problems opening my databases, and I seem to have isolated the problem to the different ODBC administrators. (Of course, I'd like to avoid re-installing Win95, etc.) I can't really definitively ID the versions, except that one has a bigger window (w/ title: ODBC Data Source Administrator) w/ tabs (including an About tab displaying Version 3.0.23.1 for Administrator, Control Panel Device, Control Panel Startup, Cursor Library, Driver Manager, and Localized Resource DLL). I'm having problems w/ computers w/ this version. The other has a smaller window (w/ title: Data Sources), and has buttons instead of tabs. This seems to work fine. If the latter is the older version, I have the ff. options: 1. solve the problem so that the former works too, or 2. revert from the new to the old. If the latter is the newer version: 1. upgrade to the new. How can I do any of this? TIA, Reggie
