I know what you're saying, but how is it supposed to know where your files 
are located?

You haven't linked in the odbc import library. Specify "odbc32.lib" on the 
command line. Alternatively, in one of your modules, add the following:

    pragma(lib, "odbc32.lib");

An import library comes with the linker and utilities package from the 
website (http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmc.zip). But I'm not sure if the one 
that version will work, because it's very old. If you have the latest 
Platform SDK, you can copy odbc32.lib from there into your dm\lib folder, 
and then run coffimplib (ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/coffimplib.zip) on it to 
make it compatible with DMD.
