that is still incorrect because very few computers will have the display
Administrative tools in start menu turned on.

If the user has the new XP style start menu turned on the Reading should be
Start -> Control Panel-> Administrate Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC)

if the User has Classic Start menu turned on the reading is

"Go to Start-> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC)

and off course both are wrong if users don't have classic view turned on in control panel

Another option is
Start -> Run -> type in "odbcad32.exe" minus the quotes then click OK button.

Its early still given time i could come up with a couple more ways to
get to the ODBC admin tool

I don't have a clue about Vista sense i have avoided it like the plague.
