ODBC Type Just Disappears

[veaux]

When I try to use the Link Table and select the type "ODBC" the browse
window just disappears. If I select any other type, it behaves
correctly. I tried repairing my office installation, but that didn't
seem to help. I had stopped the Office Source Engine from running at
startup and thought that might be it so I started that again. I did
these in this order (repaired, then started Office Source Engine.) Any
ideas why this may be happening? I don't get to select any specific
type of ODBC connection as the whole modal box just instantly
disappears when I make this selection.

Do you have Norton AV installed on your machine ?
A few days ago I've posted following suggestion :

Start Norton
--Security Basics / Auto-Protect / Configure Auto-Protect --Other /
Miscellaneous
There you should find a check box labeled "How to keep Microsoft Office
Documents Protected", which you should deactivate and then restart your
machine.

I don't know NAV 2006 but there it should be :

Options - Norton Antivirus Autoprotect - Bloodhount Heuristic

Great stuff! Worked perfectly! Yes I had Norton. You probably saved
my family a lot on heating bills as I would have thrown my laptop threw
the window at some point! That fix was pretty buried as far as I'm
concerned.

Thanks!
