Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'odbc32.lib'
Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Michael Schloz\My Documents\irrlicht-1.3\irrlicht-1.3\examples\01.HelloWorld\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
HelloWorld - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Open up the project settings and remove odbc32.lib from the linker dependency list. It is not necessary.

To do this, click Project | <Project> Properties. That will bring up the project setting dialog. Then click the Configuratin drop down and select All Configurations. Then browse the tree view on the left to Linker | Input | Additional Dependencies. Remove the offending library from the list. There are likely to be other libraries there that you don't need, so you can remove them as needed.
