What error message (precisely) is logged?

Hi,
iam not able to select the access databases in the connection manager, which iam working on.i created a dsn using access driver and used that dsn to connect.In the psdb i used the dsn which we create while installing the software.but iam not able to select my access databases.

Did you create a user DSN or a system DSN? User DSNs are not selected by the client software.

i created system dsn. i need to wwwork on access databases.This is what i have given.
IN THE CONNECTION MANAGER.
CONNECTION TYPE IS REPOSITORY WHICH IS DEFAULT.
DATASOURCE NAME IS PSDB WHICH IS THE DSN CREATED BY PROFILE STAGE WHILE INSTALLING, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO SQL SERVER.
IN THE LOAD METADATA I CREATED NEW DSN WHICH I CREATED BY USING ACCESS DATABASES.THE THING IS THAT IAM NOT ABLE TO SELECT ACCESS DATABASES, ANY BODY PLZ HELP ME OUT.

Is the Message Switch running? Is there anything pertinent in its log?

This question is asked because all requests to and from the client and to and from the PSDB are passed through the Message Switch.
