If I understand the question properly, you need to check the ODBC connection. &nbsp;This is under the control panel in Windows XP. &nbsp;Control Planel &gt;&nbsp;Administrative Tools &gt;&nbsp;Data Sources (ODBC).<br />
<br />
Under user DSN or system DSN you should see your ODBC connection. &nbsp;Highlight your connection then click Configure. &nbsp;At the bottom of the Configure screen there is a Test Connection button. &nbsp;You can click that to test your connection.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps!
