Can someone explain how to configure and run ODBC?

[Bob--]

I am completely baffled trying to configure the ODBC drivers. I have a web site that uses a PERL script and flat text file to server dynamic pages. I want to use FM7 to run backend operations off the database. I have the drivers installed, no problem.

I go to ODBC Configure, add a new File DSN, follow the steps in the Filemaker Help, click the OK's to quit. When I go to FM and try to import from ODBC the data source doesn't appear, nor is there any way to navigate anywhere. Just the Cancel button.

Back to ODBC configure...... Back to FM.....

I am lost. Can anyone point me in the right direction or to a good tutorial?

Thanks
