Hey Monks,

I have gone through many of the messages posted here related to MS access accessing.
I am trying to use DBD::ODBC, for some reason I am not able to connect. 
my $DSN = "driver=Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb);dbq=Z:\\\\temp\\Kerne
+lLog.mdb;"
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$DSN", '','')  or die "$DBI::errstr\n";

[download]
It throws an error like 
DBI connect.... failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source n
+ame not found and no default driver specified (SQL-IM002)(DBD: db_log
+in/SQLConnect err=-1) at Logparse/ParsetoDB.pm line 67

[download]
I checked the ODBC datasource and I do see the driver name specified by me.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks!
