access does not display odbc sources when selected

[Guest]

Hi when trying to link external data tables using Access, once I select ODBC
sources no "select Data source dialogue" is displayed. What is going on
here? And how can I get Access to allow me to link SQL tables inot my Access
database?

Probably because the Norton Anti-Virus plugin for Office is blocking the
dialog window. Deactivate the office plugin before selecting the ODBC data
source; you can reenable it later. Don't remember the exact name for the
plugin but this topic comes here often in the newsgroups.

Other antivirus might show the same behavior.

Thank you so much that was the problem.
