How do I make one of my installed ODBC drivers the DEFAULT driver?

MLH
I'm running XP. Is it required that a given ODBC driver be
selected or set somehow as a default driver? Look at this...

Here's the error: Error: ODBC call failed... [MicroSoft] [ODBC DLL]
Datasource not found and no default ODBC driver specified.

I think I can work my way around the Datasource, but the
default driver thing (#0) - dunno?

Could it be that my c:\windows\odbc .ini needs a setting modified
in order that one of the installed ODBC drivers be selected as a
default driver? My problem is not with Access 97. That works. My
problem is connecting with Access 2.0. Here's my INI file...

[ODBC Data Sources]
MS Access 2.0 Databases=Acces s 2.0 for MS Office (*.mdb)
[MS Access 2.0 Databases]
Driver=C:\WINDO WS\SYSTEM\ODBCJ T16.DLL
DefaultDir=C:\A CCESS
JetIniPath=MSAC C20.INI

Hello, I would like to access a UDB database on a Sun Solaris 5.8. The client is a XP station. When I list the default odbc drivers, I found "Microsoft ODBC Driver for DB2". But I think it can not be used to access a UDB DB on Unix machine. So where can I find a ODBC driver ? Thank you

In an Access97 application I fetch data from an Oracle database via a linked table (via Odbc/sqlnet). The Oracle database now upgrades from 7.3 to 8.0. The Oracle odbc driver I use (2.0.3.1, supplied with 7.3) always worked fine on all Nt4 workstations. Now with the 8.0 db an odbc error occurs when the db is contacted: {ODBC Oracle...

Shocks. Today I came to learn that Suns jdbc-odbc bridge driver isn't meant for serious purposes; it's experimental. I already knew it isn't thread safe, but didn't think of this as problematic for the relatively simple system I'm using it. However, I suspect there are other issues. Currently I'm stuck with a query which takes less than one...

Hi I'm running Windows 2000 and Office 2003. I want to copy tables from an unknown database format into Access 2.0 and I could do it quite easily if it weren't for the fact that recent ODBC-drivers aren't capable of writing into an Access 2.0 database (only reading). I do have the old Access 2.0 disks including odbc-driver, but it doesn't...
