odbc errors on terminal server

We connect via terminal services to an excel spreadsheet that has an
ODBC link to an access database using a pivot table, when we try to
refresh the data within the excel spreadsheet we receive the following
error "the microsoft jet database engine cannot find the input table or
query....."

this works ok if the user connects to terminal services as the
administrator however if they connect as any other issue it won't work

Anyone got any ideas?

(have tried 2000 ts and 2003 ts)

Well, neither do I know Terminal Services, nor do I know Access. All I
can say is that a newsgroup for SQL Server is probably not the best place
to hope for an answer to your question.

Actually I'll hazard a guess.

Terminal Server isn't the issue.

ODBC is. Sounds like they setup the DSN on a per USER basis (i.e.
administrator) not a system DSN.

As others have noted, a TS list may be more helpful, but it is possible the
culprit is a combination of the two worlds (TS and ODBC). Since the setup
works for admins, I wonder if the DNS isn't setup as limited in scope to one
TS profile. If so, you can either re-configure the DNS to make it available
to all users, or create DNS's for other users. Just how this plays out would
also depend on whether or not domains are involved. But the general idea is
that, in some way or another, some privilege issue is denying access to the
DNS.

Hello All, I have been working on this for almost a week now and I haven't anything up my sleeves anymore that I could test in addition or change....

hi all, I am trying to create a dts package to transfer data from tables in my sql server 2000 database to a db2 UDB v8.1.4 database. When I use ibm db2 oledb driver for the destination this works fine except that rows are committed on a row by row basis thus performance is slow. I want to use the odbc driver but when I define it as the destination, i get errors saying that the maximum number of rows failed has exceeded the minimum.

Dear group, we are dealing with some very specific problems with ODBC, where a connection from SQL-Server to Mysql works with ODBC-driver 3.51.10.00 and does NOT work with ODBC-driver 3.51.11.00. Maybe someone experiences similar problems or even has a solution ? Some feedback (to the group) would be highly appreciated.

It's a naive question, but hopefully that's what the forums are for ! I have data in a SQL Server 2000 database, with an Access 97 front end. This works fine, but at present the OBDC connection string relies on a correctly-configured LOCAL DSN. Is there any way that I can set up a generic DSN on the SQL server server that all users can access, without the need to setup OBDC conections on all individual client PC's ? With about 150 PC's...

I have an Access 2003 .mde sitting on an SQL Server. The tables for the application also sit on the Server. I'm having a problem with ODBC on only one of about 10 machines. All the other machines using my Access 2003 .mde see the linked tables without a problem. I've configured the User DSN (under Control Panel, Administrative Tools) tab to match what the other machines are set to, but this didn't work. I keep getting an error message...

We've got an Excel spreadsheet that uses an ODBC link to an Access database (running on our 2003 Terminal Server) the refresh data option doesn't seem to work unless the user has administrative rights. we've also tried this on our 2000 terminal server with the same results. is there a particular way to install ODBC on terminal services? is there any directories i should grant users access to so i can make this more reliable?

Scenario is: We have an intranet on which a Helpdesk application can be accessed. Data input into the Helpdesk is stored in a Access 2000 database, held on a server.

So, I create an Access DB on my machine, via ODBC, link to the tables within the Helpdesk Access database. I set the...

We recently deployed an upgraded application on all new hardware. The infrastructure performed exceptionally well as we monitored cpu & memory use. After 4 days my application team advised me they needed to roll back the odbc driver on the servers. The performance on the servers is now almost as bad as it was before the upgrade. The rollback process took maybe 5 minutes per server. Supposedly that's all they did to the servers. We went...

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,...
