Access 2.0 Does Not Create ODBC Group or Icon Under Windows NT

 Last reviewed: September 9, 1996
Article ID: Q120047
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

Notes in the Access 2.0 Help section on "Installing ODBC Drivers and Setting up Data Sources," incorrectly state that an ODBC group and ODBC Admin icon are created when you install ODBC. No group or icon is created under Windows NT.

The ODBC Admin file (ODBCADM.EXE) is located in the \SYSTEM subdirectory of your Windows NT directory. Use the path <winnt>\SYSTEM to create an ODBC group or icon manually.
