Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> OT: Problem trying to create Oracle ODBC DSN
All,
One of our user groups is running a 3rd party software application which currently only runs on Oracle 8.0.5. The application is installed on a Windows 98 PC, as was the Oracle 8.0.5 client software. An ODBC datasource name was created for use in connecting to the database. All was fine until one user began to experience ODBC error problems when performing some operations, namely update and some types of retrieve operations. She recently had another new software (java-based) application installed on her desktop. She is the only one experiencing this problem. I de-installed the Oracle client software, then did a re-install, rebooted, set-up the tnsnames file but now the ODBC 32 administrator will not complete the setup to create the datasource name for the connection. The sqlplus connection to the database works. When you go to add datasource name, the driver name is there but when selected it does not prompt you to enter connect data, does not issue error message ... it just disappears.. It did not seem to have a problem with trying to create a MS Access DSN. Anyone experience similar problems like this? If so, what did you do to resolve it?
TIA, Tina
