Hi,
Got a problem. I have Access running on a win 2000 machine and the program works just fine. It ODBC's into an oracle database also using Oracle on OraHome90 drivers. But, when I run the same program on a win98 machine I get ODBC-Call Failed error. Anyone know why? Is it a Win98 problem? I tried with earlier oracle drivers. Seems to be the way the machine is trying to log into Oracle using odbc. ???
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
ok, I don't use Oracle, but...each machine has to have the data source's parameters set up (location, TCP/IP Port #, etc.) in order for the connection to be successful. Sorry if this is elementary, but it's the first thing that I would check if you haven't already done so.
