That program - often an archive/administrative/management error 3151 odbc connection failed windows 7 service client or a similar home-made piece of software -  uses a persistent ODBC connection to a local or remote DB via an ODBC DSN interface defined at user or 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 proper Data Source pointing to the DB we need runtime error 3151 odbc connection failed access 2013 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.

All worked fine up until yesterday when trying to login using the usual username/password gives the above 3151 error. The line in the VB which generates this is: Set rstRoles = sfdb.OpenRecordset("Roles", dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)which is opening a simple table of roles to check which level the given user is at. Two things:1 I've noticed the transaction log is huge (12 GB) and had just run out of space to grow, but having freed error 3151 odbc up plenty more disk space, I still get the error2 I can open the database in admin mode and view the tables as normal. Just can't run the front end which the users need.I noticed one post which recommended running the linked tables utlility, which I've done but no difference.Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.:) Post #446169 Minaz AminMinaz Amin Posted Tuesday, January 22, 2008 11:22 PM Mr or Mrs. 500 Group: General Forum Members Last Login: Thursday, September 10, 2015 1:24 AM Points: 580, Visits: 1,750 Is it possible to post the SQL Server error message.

I am upgrading to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I have verified the ODBC connection is working properly through the ODBC management. I get Error 3151 Private Sub Form_Load() Dim DB As DAO.Database Dim TDF As DAO.TableDef 'Refresh Databse Link Set DB = CurrentDb() Set TDF = DB.TableDefs("EWVPD_PRODUCT") TDF.Connect = "ODBC;DSN=[DSN_NAME];UID=[USER];PWD=[Password]" TDF.RefreshLink DoCmd.OpenForm "Main", acNormal DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name End Sub Error Message: Run-time error '3151' ODBC connection to '[DSN_NAME] failed The code in RED is being flagged for the error. The file's location is in the trusted locations via registry edits. The idea of this code is to make a connection to the Oracle database in the background when the application opens to avoid password issues. Any advice on the configuration or re-coding of this is greatly appreciated. I suspect I will have to add code to compare the host operating system so I use the proper method depending on the client using the application. __________________ There's nothing like trouble shooting to find out how much I have yet to learn.
