Hello!. I have a problem when trying to connect to an access database: $con = odbc_connect($dsn,$user,$pass) or die(odbc_error()); the error message i get is just this: IM002 the $dsn var only contains the name of a data source previously created from the windows control panel. i already tested the $dsn making a connection with visual basic code and it works fine. Also the user and pass are right. so i dont know what could be the problem. I am using PHP 5.2.4-win32. with apache 2.2.4. I really appreciate any help on this.
