ODBC Driver

[Sarah Morris]

I like WP much better than Word but I have created many databases in
Access and would like to be able to do merges using WP and Access. I
have been told I can do this by installing the ODBC driver which comes
with MS Office. However, it is nowhere to be found.

I have MS Office Pro installed on my PC however, I want to install the
ODBC driver so that I may use MS Access files in a mail merge in WP 7.
My problem is... where the hell is the driver?

I've tried starting MS Office setup and the add/remove component, but it
is not listed under anything I found. the only help the installa tion
book gives is on page 22

"If users will use SQL databases, they must run the Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) Setup program to install the ODBC driver and add a
data source for each database of the type that they want to access.
They can do this as part of the installation process or at a later
time."

BUT it doesn't tell you how to do it at a later time or ever where the
OBDC driver or Setup program is!!

Can anyone help me out? My copy of MS Office Pro is on 24 diskettes, so
and I have searched through every single one and my C: drive for the
ODBC.inf (driver) with no luck!

Thank you,

Sarah Morris
