You were correct that the ODBC Services were not started and would not start manually. I followed your instructions exactly and after doing this the services started. That was exciting. Unfortunately the 500 error persists. Tried restarting CF and IIS services: 500 error, tried server reboot: 500 error. Any other ideas?
Thank you so much for trying to help me.
