Brad,

  Are you sure you have ODBC support installed? MS Access and
other db applications generally install ODBC support as a part
of their installation procedure, but if you haven't installed 
any database on your system, it's possible that the core 
Windows ODBC support isn't installed on your system.

In the windows Control Panel there should be an "ODBC" icon if
you have ODBC support installed - do you have this on your system?
If so, does the windows ODBC manager or the Event Log show any
kind of errors occurring with ODBC?
