Yeah, thanks, I did.
As an update, I did get the ODBC to work on my hosted Windows 2008 server. (See my reply to my original message) but never on my Windows 8.1 PC.
So, the good news is that on the 2008 box, I can connect to ODBC thru Crystal or Excel. However, I still cannot convert my crystal reports using the conversion tool.I am getting this error:

Converting report <ARM New Cost Report BRK4a with GC.rpt>
7/19/2016 4:20:25 PM: (Error) Report <ARM New Cost Report BRK4a with GC.rpt> failed to convert: <Error: Missing method 'instance class CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.SubreportController [ReportConvertor] CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument::get_SubreportController()' from class 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper'.>
