I'm not sure *how* I did, but I have quite a few redundant ODBC drivers installed on my system in different languages. For simplicity when installing Office 2k, I usually install the whole thing rather than clicking through its millions of options, and I assume this is where the drivers came from (though I've done this on other machines and have not had the same result with the ODBC drivers.. weird). Anyway, I'd like to remove the redundant drivers, and just keep what I use -- SQL, Access and Oracle, all in English. Is there a way to go about doing this? thanks, tim Tim, Try looking in the ODBC dialog under drivers, if you look under the file heading it will display the name of the dll file that you want to remove, then run regsvr32 -u dllname.dll and that will unregister the dll from windows and you can delete the file from your system folder. There is one problem with this, if you look at the file the different languages point to it, it appears to be the same for english as well as other languages for many of the entries. EX: Name Version Company File Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) 4.00.4403.02 M$ ODBCJT32.DLL Driver do Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) 4.00.4403.02 M$ ODBCJT32.DLL So if it points to a different file you can probaly safely remove it, if not I would leave it alone Jim "There was no such thing as the Internet five years ago." --Neil Herman, Smith Barney "Is that when Al Gore invented it?" --Anonymous Programmer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B L A Z E i n t e r .
