Freddy, this is very arcane stuff; many people who use odbc drivers will not
know what entries have to be made in the registry.

Could you perhaps add a .reg file with the required entries to the samples
directory? We could document it in the UG. ISTR it's not hard to apply
such a file, just "regedit odbc.reg" or something like that.

I think regsvr32 is used to "register a server", i.e. for OLE stuff, not
simple DLLs.
