Re: ODBC error - what does it mean?

Lance, The filename not found is probably the mdb file. Look in the registry to find out what your mdb file is. You can get alot more detail about your problem using a logging facillity. One called ODBC Spy comes with the Microsoft ODBC SDK, so you need only find it and turn it on. If you don't have a copy, or would like to use even more powerful ODBC development/support tools, please consider the Dr. DeeBee ODBC tools from my company, SYWARE. Details are available on our websit (http://www.syware.com).
