 Posted: Wed Jul 07, 1999 12:38 pm Post subject: MyODBC and file dsn? |
 |
|
I have created a file DSN manually and what ever I put for the DSN=
entry when you try to connect with the .dsn it pops up the MyODBC window
with a blank DSN name!!
BTW I installed MyODBC 2.50.24 but in the driver tab of ODBC it still
states 2.50.21.00, is this a bug or has it not installed correctly!
Any help would be appreciated!

I have the same problem with the newest myODBC. In earlier versions, file
DSNs would just fail quietly leaving Access and other client applications to
return an intelligent error message (Microsoft's speciality as we all
know... "You are in a helicopter".)
I've given up file DSNs with myODBC altogether. Since you can't use file
DSNs located anywhere else than the local data source directory, they offer
no real advantage over system DSNs anyway. At least, it has never worked
with myODBC on any of my computers - again, no real error messages; it just
doesn't work.
