How to clear out bad configurations from MyODBC driver?

It can be replicated by anyone having a windoze box with Access 97 and
the MyODBC 3.51 driver installed. In Access, click File, Get External
Data, Link Tables. For Type of File, choose ODBC Databases. Select
Data Source window opens, choose Machine Data Source and all the Data
Source configurations are listed there. Some (I no longer use) are
useless and I would like to remove them. I've found no way to do 'em
so far.

Thx.

You have to open the ODBC Administrator (for Win XP):

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources
(ODBC)

Click the Machine Data Source and highlight the DSN you want to delete
then click the Remove button; click the Yes button. Done.

Hello, I am using MyODBC from VB and I want to submit a batch of insert statements in one call from my App. This is more efficient than making multiple calls from code because of the communication overhead. If I send a batch multiple statements separated by ; or ; + newline I get syntax errors pointing at the start of the next statement.. If I fire each statement one at a time with the ; at the end there's no problem.

My client (and hence I!) need to install MyODBC on a Citrix server, but when the MyODBC installation .exe is run, it fails. The .msi also fails. Investigation on the web indicates that this might have something to do with the Citrix environment not liking "hardcoded" paths in installation programs, but naive fumbling with Orca on the .msi didn't really help. Has anyone succeeded in installing MyODBC in a Citrix environment, and if so,...

When importing data into MS SQL Server 2000 from a MyODBC (v3.51) data source using Data Transformation Services, special characters like öäüéàè are not imported correctly. However, when the MyODBC data source is used in any other program like Access, Excel etc. it works fine. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any hint to solve this problem would be very much appreciated! Matthias Haldimann

Everything works ok except if the price is 8351.41 in the code it puts this exact price into the price field of...

Hi all, While working on an Access UI to a MySQL database (which should be a reasonable, low-cost, flexible interface to the DB, better than web-based, much less costly than a full-fledged .NET app or so.... is it?), I tried measuring the bandwith consumed by the Access/MyODBC/MySQL link, which came out to be, er, quite high. I fancied it would be interesting to look at the queries Access throws at MySQL through the ODBC link, so I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
