    All my ODBC drivers were deleted, I think it was deleted when I uninstall Corel software which came with my computer. I am running XP. How do I get them back.
    Thanks

    Search Google and you should find plenty of sites to download Odbc drivers.

    VERY IMPORTANT SO READ CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!

    Modifying the registry can completely hose your system if done wrong. Although I do not anticipate any problems, please be aware that I take no responsibility.

    before you proceed, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR IMPORTANT DATA and YOUR REGISTRY!!!!



    Go to start, run, type REGEDIT. Click on the My Computer branch in the registry editor, then go to file , export. Choose ALL on the bottom. Give it a name and save it in a safe place.


    Next copy the following text and paste it into notepad.

    Save the file. The extension on notepad items is .TXT You need to change it to .REG

    once you've changed the extension, double click on the icon and it will ask you if you want to add that information to the registry. Say yes. Now REBOOT and check your ODBC drivers.

    WILL THIS WORK SINCE IT SAID
    "This release does not include Microsoft Jet, the Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider or ODBC driver, the Desktop Database ODBC Drivers, or the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver."

    Will setting up a restore point help in case of any problems if I edit registry?
