SYMPTOMS
When you convert a file data source name (DSN) to a system DSN in the Data Access Tool (DAT), the tool makes a copy of the data source if the name already exists as a System DSN. If you convert the File DSN a third time, DAT will add the characters &quot;&quot;. These characters are not valid in the Data Access Tool.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, rename the File DSN that you are converting to a name that does not exist as a System DSN.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

 * 1) Create a system DSN that is named Test.
 * 2) Create a file DSN that is named Test.
 * 3) Convert the file DSN to a system DSN, and then click Refresh.
