John, Thanks for the help. The new PC has Windows-7 (64 bit), but Access is 32 bit. It sounds like the 32 Bit ODBC Driver should work. When I try to set up ODBC and test the connection, the test fails. Really puzzled.

No, 64 bit drivers don't work with Office x32. It sounds like maybe the Access installed on that system is X64 and you are trying to use an X32 driver. John W.
