The ODBC Administrator is a utility freely distributed by Microsoft for managing your ODBC drivers and data sources. You can run this utility from your Windows windows\system directory ODBCADM.EXE or from Administrator Tools on the Windows Control Panel.

If you require additional setup for your data source and driver, contact your Database Administrator (DBA) for assistance. They will understand the setup requirements for the data source you wish to access.

Message: The setup routines for the <driver name> driver could not be loaded

If you try to add a new data source with a driver that requires additional software that is not installed you get the message:

The setup routines for the <driver name> driver could not be loaded. You may be low on memory and need to quit a few applications.

This means that the driver DLL could not be loaded, most likely because it could not load dependent DLLs. To get a useful message indicating which DLL is required but not found, try DLLMGR.EXE, or double-check that you have properly installed all required drivers and your path is set correctly.
