Bill, I removed all traces (including all related directories) of RBW7.0, rebooted the standalone computer with XP Pro and SP1, and reinstalled RBW7.0 (7.0.63.21001) using the Full Installer downloaded from the RBTI site. I also installed Oterro 2.0 and RBW 6.5++ (Build 1.866xRT03). All three R:Base ODBC drivers are visable in ODBC Data Source Administrator, and can be used to build usable DSNs. I never encountered the kinds of problem you and a few other people reported, but note that I am not using the current release of RBW7.0, and mine is a standalone computer.
