ODBC works in Excel not Access

I have created an ODBC connection to our Teradata database. Whenever I
attempt to link to a table on Teradata the process seems to be working.
But then I get the error message, "Reserved error (-7778); there is no
message for this error." The diaglog box of tables to select appears,
but there are no tables present.

The usual answer to these ODBC types of questions seem to be that there
is something wrong with your ODBC connection string. However this same
ODBC definition works just fine from MS Excel.

What is there about MS Access that won't recognize the ODBC connection?

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... 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?

Hello all, Currently we are implementing an Access database which has to send some (not much) data over a WAN. We are using an Access front end and an Access back end. Basicly the front end runs local, but at the end of the session the front end needs to write the data to the back end on the WAN. The responsible IT manager asked me to use a ODBC linkage between the database, since this sends smalles packages of data (which minimizes the...

Hey guys, I have an ODBC problem that has me stumped. I wrote a VBA script to run in Microsoft Excel that pulls data out of an application using that application's ODBC driver and puts it into Excel. I am trying to translate the same program over to Microsoft Access and I ran into a problem. Access locks up if the data I am querying for is not present in the database. To retrieve data from the database of the application, my Excel...

Hi All.. This is a strange one that I hope someone has come across. I have an asp.net application that needs to access a flat file databse via ODBC. I have setup the OBDC DSN and tested it via EXCEL. It works perfect. I have setup a Windows 2000 server with the application and DSn and it works perfect.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
