ODBC database does not appear in 'Files of Type' list

I'm running Access 2002 (on W2K) and need to access a MySQL database. I've
installed and configured the latest MySQL ODBC driver, and it works
perfectly from Excel, but in Access 2002 the

File->Get External Data->Link Tables->Files of Type

list does not include ODBC databases. Interesting, it *does* include a
'type' of 'Registry Error (*.*)'.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Access to no avail. I can't find a
reference to ODBC databases missing from this list on the MS KB or in any
newsgroups.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks

Iain

After having reformatted my workstation, I installed Windows XP and Office 2000 Premium. However, when I open an Access database to link to a SQL Server database, I notice that in the "Files of Type" dropdown list, "ODBC Databases" does not appear. I looked through the Office 2000 setup, but didn't see any option that I was obviously missing. How do I restore this feature? - Robert -

I am converting an application from A97 to A2003. I have 2 tables created by another application as a Foxpro.dbf. The table has no index. The connect string in A97 is FoxPro 2.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=2;DATABASE=C:\Test It's really easy to connect to those tables in A97. I'm having difficulties in A2003. I'm trying to follow the instructions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824264/.

I just started using Access 2003, and I can't link a SQL Server table. I right-click on the database window; select Link Tables; and select ODBC Databases from the Files of Type dropdown. As soon as I select ODBC Databases from the Files of Type dropdown, the entire dialog box disappears. No error message. Just disappears, and I'm back at the database window. I have tried this with other databases, including a brand new blank one, and...
