Ok, this is what I did...
Keep in mind I have Xp so I don't know how this all pans out.
1. I opened the ODBC Data Source Administrator
2. My default view was User DSN
3. I clicked on System DSN
4. Clicked on Add
5. Choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)
6. Gave it a name of Killerspin_com2
7. Clicked on Create
8. Saved it the directory which my source code will reside in.
9. Set up username/password
10. created test_connect.php page.
11. Inserted the following code:
if (odbc_connect("killerspin_com","username","password") == 0)
die("failed");
else
die("success");
12. Received this error.
Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name
not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect
in D:\is\clients\eki\killer_spin\new_web\test_connect.php on line 3
Failed.
I'm not to sure how to set this up to work with PHP

to set up a DSN go to control panel and then Administrative Tools then
into Data Sources and then add a new system DSN.
you can probably work the rest out as its fairly straight forward.

I need to know exactly how to hook up to an Access database under Office
Xp. I normally use MySQL, but the current site sits on Windows servers.
I am using php 4.3.0
Office Xp Pro w/ Access
I'm running Apache 2.0.43
I need to know how to check if ODBC is set up on my machine (I hear that
by default it is) and what's this about a driver?
All I know at this point is
odbc_connect("XXX","username","password");
Where XX is the DSN name I will be using, (how do this, i.e. set up a
DSN name)
Thanks much and in advance.
