R help - Dec 2003 - RODBC with RAqua

Hi,
I use RAqua on mac os x 10.3.  I am trying to connect
to an odbc dsn, but RODBC can't seem to find it.
I have it installed in my ODBC Administrator in
/Applications/Utilities as a system-wide data source. 
does RODBC need more than just the dsn name (like a
path or something)?  I have everything set up
identically on a windows box, and all seems to work
fine.
thanks,
peter

As it is the same code on Windows, RODBC requires no more.
The problem is in your ODBC installation, not an R issue.
