Ok, it's a feature. :-) (I don't like it by the way... I think the compiler should automatically find the modules it has to compile: there are implicit commands for it.)

But anything I do, I get this result:

It seems everything is imported but it does not compile/link.

I know what you're saying, but how is it supposed to know where your files are located?

You haven't linked in the odbc import library. Specify "odbc32.lib" on the command line. Alternatively, in one of your modules, add the following:

    pragma(lib, "odbc32.lib");

An import library comes with the linker and utilities package from the website (http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmc.zip). But I'm not sure if the one that version will work, because it's very old. If you have the latest Platform SDK, you can copy odbc32.lib from there into your dm\lib folder, and then run coffimplib (ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/coffimplib.zip) on it to make it compatible with DMD.

That's a known problem that is caused by DMC not being shipped with up-to-date Windows libraries.  To fix it, follow the instructions at http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddbi/wiki/ODBCSubproject.

Hope you enjoy.
