If you go to Administrative tools under control panel, you should find something called Data Sources (ODBC). Your access odbc driver should be listed in the tab USER DSN. From there you can actually select your access database and set it up by clicking configure.

There are many articles online to help with that.. start off with www.codeproject.com - usually they give nice tutorials and explanations. and if u get stuck, posting there usually gives you a reply in under ten mins.
