Are you sure you created an actual datasource? In the control panel
there should be an ODBC configuration icon. You can use it to start the
ODBC Data Source Administrator. To create a datasource for use by Zope
(if it runs as a service) create a system DSN that points to your
test.mdb file. It should show up in Zope then for you to select.

Good luck!
