system level using the Windows ODBC Administrator tool. The Problem The aforemetioned client can't find the ODBC Data Source entry, therefore showing an error pop-up containing the following: ODBC Call Failed - Error 3151 Or, depending on the ODBC driver installed: ODBC Connection Failed - Error 3146 First thing we need to do is to check if the latest version of the Windows ODBC is properly installed and if a runtime error 3151 odbc connection failed access 2013 proper Data Source pointing to the DB we need to connect has been set: you can check both of these by opening the Windows Control Panel and navigate through Administrative Tools -> ODBC Data Source Administrator. If there's something missing there, fix that and check again, otherwise keep reading. The Analisys This specific issue is mostly related to how Windows 7 and above handles ODBC connections. Starting from Win7 the OS contains two different ODBC Data Source Administration tool executables: the 32-bit one and the 64-bit one. You can find them in the following folders, as explained in a note of this official KB article: ODBC Administrator (32-bit) c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe 1 c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe ODBC Administrator (64-bit) c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe 1 c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe Which one should we use? It obviously depends on the Data Source we need to set-up. If your client supports a 64-bit connection driver you will go with the x64 version, otherwise you need to use the 32-bit one. If you're experiencing the Error 3151 problem and your ODBC connection works, chances are you're doing the right thing while using the wrong tool, i/e the 64-bit ODBC Administrator instead of the 32-bit one. The Fix Needless to say, the problem can be fixed by launching the proper ODBC Administrator tool, which - if you're here - often is the 32-bit

We are using a File DSN in the ODBC Administrator. Connection tests work fine there. In fact, we have a main form in the Access 2007 application that shows the data always correctly. The problem appears when we execute a task that makes the following call: Dim dbs As Database
Dim rstAppend As Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstAppend http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3787484/odbc-call-failed-error-3151 = dbs.OpenRecordset(strAccessTable, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges) OpenRecordset throws the error number 3151 and occurs randomly but it appears quite frequently. It's sporadic. When we don't get the error, the task works fine. It not happens always, mostly we're fine. When it happens it happens for all subsequent tasks tried. We have to close and reopen the Access database and pray to the good Lord that it works. Sometimes, refreshing the tables in the Linked Table Manager solves the problem, but others don't. We receive sometimes an error "ODBC--Call Failed" when refreshing the Linked Table Manager. Deleting the File DSN and creating a new one solves the problem. We have tried with two different drivers (SQL Server and SQL Server Native Client 10) and in both cases the problem remains. Also we have tried to put the Access File in the same machine than the SQL Server and the problem remains. We have increased the ODBC Timeout for all the querys from 60 to 180 seconds,but the problem still remains. We don't have to wait to see the error, it appears in less than one second after executing the task. We would be very happy if someone could help us to find a solution to this problem. sql-server ms-access odbc share|improve this question edited Sep 25 '10 at 19:04 Tony Toews 7

Error number is 3151. This error is in ACCESS 2007 and the tables are linked to SQL Server 2005 database tables. This error occurs randomly but it appears quite frequently. Basically, this happens if a series of queries are executed in MS access. Usually, the first query executes fine and while executing the 2nd one, it bombs. Its sporadic. Sometimes, the 1st and the 2nd queries execute just fine but bombs on the 3rd one. I did google on this and tried couple of resolutions but none of them worked. I have setup a odbc datasource for the database in SQL Server 2005. What could be causing this error? MS ACCESS 2007 and SQL Server 2005 are on one machine (locally on a developement machine). Please let me know if you need more details. Your help is appreciated! Thanks! rum23 Yak Posting Veteran 77 Posts Posted-10/19/2008: 18:11:40 Anybody??? Please help AndrewMurphy Flowing Fount of Yak Knowledge Ireland 2916 Posts Posted-10/21/2008: 06:05:57 I'd suspect a coding problem....maybe your variable holding for database connection string is being cleared/initialised/nullified. Can you embed some tracing statements into your code? rum23 Yak Posting Veteran 77 Posts Posted-10/21/2008: 15:38:14 I have looked at this over and over again and I am reaching a dead end. Bascially I get this error when doing an OpenRecordset() method. In this one function, I do a series (about 10 or so) of OpenRecordset() calls to retrieve data from different tables. And sometimes, the method call fails, when doing a OpenRecordset() the 2nd time and sometimes it fails 4th time and sometimes it fails the 1st time. Its very inconsistent as to when the error bombs.My db is set as followsSet db = CurrentdbSet rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)The exact error message is "ODBC--connection
