We have 4 MS Access Databases with few tables on each DB. There are
some reports which uses ODBC. When I try to use the report and input
date range and click ok I get error "ODBC --call failed" it happens on
my computer only. I have just setup Windows XP SP2 with latest updates
and MS Office Prof. 2000 and in ODBC I have same dirvers installed as
other users who are able to access reports without any problem.

Can anybody tell me what setting I need to do on my computer.


Thanks,
Mukesh
 
There should be more to the error message than what you posted. It
might be helpful if you posted that too. Often times when you get that
message you either:
1. Don't have the ODBC driver connection set up at all
2. You have the ODBC connection set up, but it has the wrong name.

Usually the message says "ODBC call failed - Connection to ODBCName
failed" You need to make sure that when you set up your ODBC
connection that you use whatever ODBCName is.

Hope that helps!
 
I support a company who is trying to do what sounds like the very same thing.
They enter a date range and get the exact same error listed. No more, no
less I have screenshots to prove it. So the initial posting was very
accurate as I was hoping to find a solution because that is the exact problem
all users at this company are experiencing. They were able to access the
info on Monday just fine, did a restore and that had no impact.
