Dear All,

I am having a great deal of trouble with Chapter 20. I have tried many times to register the Northwind database. What appears on my computer, running Windows 7, does not match what appears in the book. I suspect the trouble may be that the ODBC driver either is not present on my computer or else it is not located where it should be. I have downloaded a recnt version of the driver from the MS website and run the installation process, but to no avail.

If I try to create the project, furthermore, the Visual Studio program crashes and fails to create the project at all.
