ODBC Call -- Failed

We have 4 MS Access Databases with few tables on each DB. There are
some reports which uses ODBC. When I try to use the report and input
date range and click ok I get error "ODBC --call failed" it happens on
my computer only. I have just setup Windows XP SP2 with latest updates
and MS Office Prof. 2000 and in ODBC I have same dirvers installed as
other users who are able to access reports without any problem.

Can anybody tell me what setting I need to do on my computer.

Thanks,
Mukesh

ODBC Call Failed is a completely generic message that is often followed by
another message containing the specific error. For a report I would expect
the problem to be not having SELECT permissions on the database or table
being read.

What kind of ODBC connection is it? SQL Server? Oracle?

You cannot link from one Access file to another using ODBC. That has always
been the case so either it is not working on anyone else's computer or you
are not describing the situation accurately.

Rick sorry but may be I am able to explain or what.

Let me tell you that we have MS Access DB for sales group and have
Timberline Accounting software both are linked I believe for some
reports but I don't know it has to do with particular report which I am
trying to access. I no basic about access not expert level. I have
installed Timberline Accounting software which works fine and Sales
software (MS Access) also. But I am not able to access this report and
I don't know about other reports as I never touched.

Hope this explains.

What makes the most sense then is that you have ODBC links to the data in your
Tinmberline Accounting software, and that on your PC something is not set up
correctly or you do not have sufficient permissions to that ODBC data source. I
have no idea what king of data table that Timberline is using. You might have
to ask them or at least examine the links to those table to see how the links
are connected.

If a specific ODBC source is required in an Access file thgat you are
running from a server you still need that ODBC driver and DSN (if used) on
YOUR PC. That is not something that is inherited from the server.

If other users can open that report without getting an ODBC error it is
because they have installed or set up something to handle the ODBC
connection on their individual PCs. You will have to do the same on yours.
