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 proper Data Source pointing to the runtime error 3151 odbc connection failed access 2010 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 one. The fact that the lat

For years, it has worked fine when the SQL Server was on Win2008 Standard 64-bit SP2 and SQL Server 2008 v10.0.4. I recently moved the back-end SQL db to a newer server (Win2008 R2 Standard 64-bit and SQL v10.50.1600). After the move, everything on the application worked just fine as expected, no issues. However, we have a month-end process that generates http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5583256/odbc-connection-failed-3151-ms-access-sql-server-2008 relatively large reports (300-500 pages) which uncovered an issue that we don't normally see in our day-to-day processing. My report is based on a pass-through query. The query runs almost instantaneously and produces 8000 rows. I can preview the query and quickly navigate to the end of the RS to see the 8000'th row. No problem. If I pull up the report that's based on that query, I can see that there are 350 pages and I can navigate page-by-page through the report with no problem. I can even type in a page number and jump to page 50, 100, 150, etc. with no problem. Note, there is no processing/code/logic happening on any fired events on the report - just displaying and formatting the data. HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURS: If I preview the report and try to jump to the last page from the first page, it'll sit and think for a while (38 seconds to be exact) and then throw Error #3151 ODBC Connection to [DNS Name] Failed. If I simply update the connect string on the pass-through query to point it back to the "older" SQL Server and run the same thing, it works just fine. I've tried adjusting the connect string to use IP address instead of DNS name, no luck. This is a proce

All Forums Other Forums MS Access ODBC--Connection to "databaseName" failed Reply to Topic Printer Friendly Author Topic rum23 Yak Posting Veteran 77 Posts Posted-10/19/2008: 17:31:38 I get the error "ODBC--Connection to 'databasename" failed". 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--conn
