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 DB we need to connect has been error 3151 odbc connection failed windows 7 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 latest versions of Windows are shipping two different executables having an identical filename to handle OD

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 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3787484/odbc-call-failed-error-3151 dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstAppend = 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

The DB uses linked tables and DAO to connect to an ORACLE backend. It used to work until we recently upgraded our ORACLE version from 10g to 11g. As part of the upgrade we error 3151 odbc had to update our rather out dated "Microsoft ODBC for ORACLE" driver to "Oracle in instantclient11_1" thats forms part of the ORACLE Instant Client. When we run the VBA it returns error code 3151 and says "ODBC --connection to 'MYDB' failed. I did a bit of googling and found that code 3151 is a generic code. However sometimes this works and other times(80% of the time) it doesn't. Its installed on an MS Xp SP3 32bit machine and the drivers are 32-bit. From The ODBC Manager when I run the test connection it is always successful and I can query the DB from within excel and using the "Import External data" Any idea how I can resolve this? ms-access odbc oracle11g dao share|improve this question asked Aug 14 '12 at 15:48 Alistair Laing 7861616 In my relatively limited dealings with Oracle, I have read that the Instant Clients can present their own peculiar set of problems. You might consider removing/uninstalling the Instant Client and go with the conventional client setup and see if that solves your problem. –David W Aug 14 '12 at 15:54 Are you s
