Claudine this is the Posting from Damian that helped me:
"""""""""
In the windows registry find the following 2 keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI
Export both keys to a text file. If you allow the default .reg
extension then they will merge back in to the registry without any
hassle. (Registry\Export Registry File)
Make sure to choose the Selected Branch radial button if it is not
in the save dialog box.
Edit the 2 text files. You want to remove any lines that have @="".
The @="" prevents any drivers or DSNs from showing up in the list.
Save the modified files.
Delete the 2 keys from registry.
Run both text files. Should add the 2 keys back in to the registry and
your new R:Base entry should be visible through the ODBC in the control
panel.
