st: ODBC again

["E. Paul Wileyto" <epw@mail.med.upenn.edu>]

I have a new computer, and I have taken the plunge into 64-bit Vista.  
(The University is supporting it starting this year.)

For data management in Stata, I depend heavily on ODBC to pull data from 
Access, Excel, and Oracle.  After reloading all of my software, I now 
find that the ODBC drivers seem to be missing, unless I want to download 
from dbase or SQL.  Apparently, this is a quirk peculiar to higher-end 
versions of Vista (my wife's home installation has all the ODBC 
drivers), and I see a lot of internet chatter about the problem... but 
no solutions.

Has anyone else run into this and have you solved the problem?  (If so, 
how?)

Thanks

Paul
