ODBC Type Just Disappears

When I try to use the Link Table and select the type "ODBC" the browse
window just disappears. If I select any other type, it behaves
correctly. I tried repairing my office installation, but that didn't
seem to help. I had stopped the Office Source Engine from running at
startup and thought that might be it so I started that again. I did
these in this order (repaired, then started Office Source Engine.) Any
ideas why this may be happening? I don't get to select any specific
type of ODBC connection as the whole modal box just instantly
disappears when I make this selection.

Do you have Norton AV installed on your machine ?
A few days ago I've posted following suggestion :

Start Norton
--Security Basics / Auto-Protect / Configure Auto-Protect --Other /
Miscellaneous
There you should find a check box labeled "How to keep Microsoft Office
Documents Protected", which you should deactivate and then restart your
machine.

I don't know NAV 2006 but there it should be :

Options - Norton Antivirus Autoprotect - Bloodhount Heuristic

Great stuff! Worked perfectly! Yes I had Norton. You probably saved
my family a lot on heating bills as I would have thrown my laptop threw
the window at some point! That fix was pretty buried as far as I'm
concerned.

Thanks!

Regarding ODBC usage in Python... it seems to me that there is a couple of ways to use odbc from python, one of these is the MX version - now that one has a pretty steep licence cost (imho). So now comes my question (from reading this group quite a bit): - what is the basic reason for using MX versus the others? - why do you (newsgroup) seem to think that this package is the preferred one? - in case above is incorrect - what package...

There may be alternatives to writing my own ODBC handle classes, and I may be interested in them, but I'd like to pursue this particular problem, if for no other reason than to...

I have noticed something disturbing when retrieving datasets over a relatively slow line (multiple T1). I am looking at about 25 seconds to retrieve 500 rows via a php-odbc link. This same select from the cli is for all intents practicaly instantaneous.

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.

To retrieve data from the database of the application, my Excel...

In short what I'm trying to do is read a document using an xml parser and then upload that data back into a database. I've got the code more or less completed using xml.etree.ElementTree for the parser and dbi/ odbc for my db connection.

That allowed me to build the application and debug...

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,...
