It has a query linking to a SQL database. How do I look at the link, e.g., whether it using a DSN, etc.? The query has the globe to the left of it indicating it http://superuser.com/questions/286420/linked-query-in-ms-access-2007-to-sql-database-odbc-error-how-do-i-see-the-l is linked. When I try to Open it, it says "ODBC - connection to '(a database name)' failed." I have searched and seen many posts on Access tables linking to another database, but none of a query linking to another database. microsoft-access sql query odbc share|improve this question edited May 20 '11 at 22:50 studiohack♦ 10.8k1672108 asked May 20 '11 at 20:48 Lars 815 Check out Control Panel -> Setup data sources –Sathya♦ May 21 '11 at 5:18 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote You can find the connect string of a table by typing this in the Immediate Windows in the VBE: ?CurrentDB.TableDefs("TableToCheck").Connect That should get you started... share|improve this answer answered May 21 '11 at 19:45 David W. Fenton 95446 I need to see the connect information for a Query, not a Table. –Lars May 23 '11 at 18:08 Thanks.

Access 2007 Linked Table Manager giving the famous ODBC Call Failed command Rate http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1009881-131-1.aspx Topic Display Mode Topic Options Author Message RayvenRayven Posted Monday, October 25, 2010 4:54 AM Mr or Mrs. 500 Group: General Forum Members Last Login: Thursday, September 3, 2015 7:01 AM Points: 589, Visits: 428 I have been working now on an Access https://www.petri.com/forums/forum/office/office-2007-general-issues/56017-ms-access-2007-odbc-call-failed 2007 database which links to SQL Server 2008 to import data for a client.I will say now that i am running Access 2007 up to date with SP2 on a fully updated Windows 7 64-bit What is happening is that i have a access 2007 series of linked tables.I originally created a File DSN and used the link table manager to re-link the tables to this, at first it worked, data could be read from SQL via Access, then it broke with the ODBC Call Failed command - nothing had changed (seriously, nothing).Now when I try to re-link the tables I tick the "Always prompt for new location", select the linked table to update and click "OK", the error comes up immediately with no delay.If I delete the linked table and recreate access 2007 odbc the link then it works, but as soon as I try to relink it, it breaks.The file DSN is so that I can ship the prebuilt DSN connection to the client with instructions on what to do if necessary.I did try the ODBC manager to create a Machine DSN - deleting the linked table, re-linking it and seconds later it broke again.I even deleted the Machine DSN and ran the 32-bit ODBC manager and created it this way, but no avail.Now, whilst i am working on the database I am constantly having to delete and recreate 10 linked tables every few minutes and not only is it slowing me down, it is becoming highly irritating. I can't ship this out to the client (who only run 64-bit Windows) unless i can get this fixed, and whilst they have been waiting patiently for 2 months, they are now running out of patience.I can't downgrade to 32-bit (not our company policy) and i certainly can't ask the client to do the same.I have been Googling this for days now with no real results and I'm now going google-eyed looking at the screen Has anyone found a solution (please answer soon as I've got so many fingers and limbs crossed for luck that I think my blood circulation may soon stop). ---------------------------------------It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
