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

Thanks Rick for your help. I know that I need to do the ODBC settings
but I have compared the ODBC setting (with users computer who can
access the report )and it is the same on my computer.

(ODBC Call--failed).

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.

If you are looking at the ODBC settings then you must know what kind of
connection to is. What ODBC driver is it? It will NOT be the Access ODBC
driver. There should be some other kind of ODBC that is being used to
connect to your other software package.

Hello, This is probably not the correct forum to post this problem but I posted it in the Access group but didn't get a reply and I'd like to move forward on this. 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). ...

I have an 3rd-party application that uses a SQL back-end, but uses Access 2000 (linked tables all using the same DSN) as an intermediary. We recently upgraded from SQL 7 to SQL 2005, which went fine. Now, however, we want to setup SQL Mirroring to provide automatic failover. The mirroring works fine. In my test environment, the mirror server becomes active automatically when the service is stopped on the principal server. I can see...

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,...
