Hi,

I installed this program that is written in vb and access that is not 
finished yet.  This is a potential job so i need to look at the exe.

The problem is when i try to run it i get the error that i thought i knew 
how to handle but not working.


The error is Microsoft odbc driver manager  data source name not found and 
no default driver found.

I made a dsn but don't i need the name that is used in code to open the 
dsn?

But the datasoure is set in the vb properties.

I asked the employer and he said in the past they just added the ms access 
97 database.

I want to figure this out without asking him.


if this makes sense please response.

Thanks,
SB

Could someone please respond.  From what i saw from the program that 
worked in the employer 's office i know the previous programmer used data 
bound objects so making a dsn connection through the control panel would 
not fix this. Right?  I am still getting the message Run time error with a 
long number and the text is [ Microsoft odbc driver manager ] datasource 
name not found and no default driver specified.  


If anyone knows please help!

Thanks,
SB
