ODBC links and Coldfsion

I have copied some Coldfusion pages I developed on an XP machine to my Vista laptop. Although the datasources I defined on the XP machine work on the Vista laptop there is no coresponding ODBC link defined on the Vista Laptop. If I do try to set up a new ODBC link via the Control Pannel, Coldfusion does not recognize the ODBC link.

Is there a different way of seting up ODBC links in Vista?

To partly answer my own question I have to define an ODBC link via Coldfusion administrator which works well for the DBMS's listed but I am still haveing problems connecting to an Advantage (ADS) database.

Any suggestions?
