[microsoft][odbc visual foxpro driver]function sequence error (#0)

[Dundoan]

Hi All,

I am trying to connect to a free table Foxpro 2.6 table from access
2003 using ODBC, Visual Forpro Driver 6.01.8629.01 and I get the above
error. If I open a database with the table already attached I can open
the table and insert, delete, ammend etc. It is only when I try to
attach a new table that I get the error. I can also logout as myself
and log back in as administrator and use the ODBC connection to connect
to the table. When I log back in as myself I can open the newly
attached table but cannot attach another one. I have reinstalled office
2003, applied SP2 reinstalled MDAC reinstalled VFODBC driver. I have
even reinstalled Windows XP. I have seen this article on the web a few
times but none of them have a resolution. Any help would be
appreciated,

Regards

Dundoan

Hi Dundoan,

There isn't a lot of discussion of this problem but I found one comment by
Lee Fesperman who suggested to turn on the Trace in the ODBC administrator
(5th tab) and see if that gives you any clues.

Stan Schaefer suggested using a System DSN rather than a User DSN.

Some suggested

Hi Cindy,

One for the scrapbook !! I followed the link for Environmental
Variables for the Temp folder but it didn't have the system attribute
on it. I did however notice that it was hidden so I removed that and it
worked. The environmental variable was set to

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp

which would explain why it worked when I logged in as administrator and
not as my domain account. Thanks for the help, it was getting a bit
annoying having to log out and in to attach a simple table !!
