What version of the ODBC driver are you using, which version of Excel, and
what symptoms are you seeing? The latest ODBC driver should work okay with
Excel 97 and 2000 (haven't tested with Office XP yet, but in theory,
should work there, too). You can confirm the version by starting the ODBC
Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe), selecting the "Drivers" tab,
then scrolling down and looking at the "TSM ODBC Driver" driver. You
should then be able to see the driver's version number and build date.

When I installed it on W2K, I had to logoff and back on.  Do not know why
but that was the minimum restart to get it to work.  I worked on it for
hours.  I have never been successful at using EXCEL but I have been very
successful with ACCESS.  What application are you trying to use to access
the database.
