Hi Barry
Your problem is easy to fix.
You have to get the myodbc-2_50_19.zip first.
Extract it into a temporary directorie and start setup.exe
This will install MyODBC on your machine.
After that overwrite the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\myodbc.dll (from MyODBC 2.50.19) with one of
the dll's from the myodbc-2_50_22-dll.zip.
myodbc2.dll is the speed optimized version, myodbc.dll is the version with debugging.
So you don't need both at a time.
