You don't find in the client machine since it is used only by your server not by the client. It is used to store the ODBC connection available to the server.

On windows machine you can find this file within the C:\winnt or C:\windows folder (depending on the OS).
But you won't be using this file if it is a client machine.

This file is irrelevant on Windoze. You configure ODBC connections under the Control Panel-->Administrative-->ODBC icon.

Still spelling it with a 'z' I see, Ken.

I hate Windoze. It's a necessary evil, like cable television companies and car dealerships.
