ODBC Problems

sql server connect: I am trying to work with a SQL Server database and there
is no ODBC driver for SQL Server on this machine. I also
tried to load a report writer that I thought would load
the driver but I get an error that the CRSS file is
missing in the registery. I did a search for CRSS and
did not find any file. Any one with any ideas please let
me know.

Thanks
Rick

you can download odbc drives for sql server from
microsoft's website. search for mdac on microsoft's site
and download the latest version which is Microsoft Data
Access Components (MDAC) 2.8.

hope this helps.

NOTE: Do not install MDAC 2.8 on your production box before you thoroughly
tested this MDAC release on your test, development, or pre-production
environments first. Make sure that you are aware of the most significant
fixes that were done in MDAC 2.8. Please refer to the following knowledge
base article for more information about the significant changes that were
done in this version:
