Default ODBC Connection with Windows 7

We will be using windows 7 ultimate (x86 - 32bit), I was wondering can you
make an ODBC connection to Access 2000 database. When we were using a trial
version or windows7 we couldn't connect. When you set up the connection
parameters in Administration and you test the connection it tested fine, but
when you try and open the database you get the ODBC--Connection to
'DataSourceName' failed message. Any word on this would be great.

You probably have a problem with your connection string. Delete all of your
links and relink the tables. If you are still having problems look at:
