ODBC - Cannot Connect to Paydata. (DSN Issues )

23 New Member
Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone else has gotten the error " ODBC- cannot connect to <db name> Failed.

Using Access 2000 here.. the db and dsn are supposed to be on the local machine. but when i make a new DSN for it, it still doesnt connect. Am i missing something here?

Thanks,
Dedric Starks
