go to Start > programs > administrative tools > Data Sources (ODBC) then set up a system DSN, as the php user will need to access it. the dsn name will then be the Data source name (= string dsn). in odbc_connect(string dsn, string user, string password [, int cursor_type) i found that if you set up a user dsn you need to change it to a system dsn so php can access it.
