PRB: ODBC Icon Does Not Appear in Windows Control Panel

Last reviewed: April 30, 1996
Article ID: Q111256

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6

SYMPTOMS

Installation of the Microsoft FoxPro Connectivity Kit should place an ODBC icon in the Control Panel group, but sometimes this icon does not appear.

CAUSE

The [MMCPL] section of the CONTROL.INI file does not contain the line:

   ODBC=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ODBCINST.DLL

RESOLUTION

Reinstalling the Connectivity Kit should write this line to the CONTROL.INI file. If the ODBC kit has been installed properly except for the icon, manually adding this line to the CONTROL.INI file (which is located in the Windows directory) will cause the icon to appear.
