Drivers Not Registered

I need to register the IBM drivers for connecting to DB2, as I get this
message indicating the drivers are not registered. I can connect to the
database just fine using any number of ways outside of my program, so I know
that the drivers are there and can be connected to, but I am not sure what
"dll" to use for the "Regsvr32".

When I am using the "udl" file to connect to the database, how can I find
the "dll" that is being used by that process?

When I am using the "Admin Tools/Data Sources (ODBC)", how can I tell what
"dll" is being used to connect to the database.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

This could be also just because the connection string is not correct. Double
check the provider name.

UDL Files are just text files. So if you have a working udl file (it would
rather mean that the provider is registered), just open it with notepad to
see the connection string...
