ODBC Call error 3146

I have an access 97 database linked to sql server..I click update on a
form
and get an error message:
Run-time error 3146 ODBC call failed

The debugger points to this line:

MyTable.Update

In this segment of code:

Private Sub Update5_Click()

Dim MyDB As Database, MyTable As Recordset, MyTmpTable As
Recordset,
Criteria As String, NewID As Long
Set MyDB = DBEngine.Worksp aces(0).Databas es(0)
Set MyTable = MyDB.OpenRecord set("Dx5", DB_OPEN_DYNASET ,
dbSeeChanges)
Set MyTmpTable = MyDB.OpenRecord set("tmp_RockDx 5",
DB_OPEN_DYNASET )

MyTable.AddNew
MyTable.Update
MyTable.Move 0, MyTable.LastMod ified
NewID = MyTable![Dx5ID]

Me![HoldNewDxID] = NewID

If DCount("*", "Dx5Current ") > 0 Then

Me![HoldOldDxID] = Me![Dx5Current].Form![Dx5ID]

'Put end date on the current

Me![Dx5Current].Form![EndDate] = Date
DoCmd.DoMenuIte m A_FORMBAR, A_FILE, A_SAVERECORD

Since you are getting an ODBC error, I assume you're using linked tables. The
ODBC call failed error is the same for -any- server-side failure, and is not
terribly informative. To get the useful error information in these cases, you
must examine the Errors collection.

Looking at what you're doing, though, I'm guessing the table has one or more
required fields with no default values, so doing an Update immediately after
an AddNew is trying to create a new record without the minimum required field
data.

I have setup an ODBC Connection to a MySQL database (driver version is 3.51) but when I setup the link in MS Access 2002 some of the tables will show #Name? in all of the fields, some will show #Deleted in all of the fields and some will work (except I can't update them). ...
