ODBC drivers installed but not visible

Problem
Even if an ODBC driver is installed, it's not displayed inside the PB environment so it's not possible to create a DSN using it.

Solution
The PB ODBC drivers list is limited to 1000 characters. Delete unused ODBC drivers from the registry to keep only the good ones.

You can delete entries in the Registry in the branch 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI
if a "clean uninstalled" procedure is not available.
