Hi Chris,
I successfully installed ODBC v3.5. I can use it from Excel with no problem.

But when I connect in C# like
   OdbcConnection cn = new OdbcConnection(@"DSN=MyDsnName;DRIVER={DBIsam3};");
   cn.Open();

I get the following exception:


System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException was unhandled
 Message=""

 StackTrace:

Can you help?

Does this happen if the DSN is pointing to an empty database directory with
no table files in it ?
