Instantiate normally refers to the creation of an instance of a class (ie
an object) when dealing with object orientated programming (going back to
ye olde telephone example from college - the object 'telephone' is an
instance of the class 'telephones'). Ok, there's a little more to it than
that, but you get the picture.
I'm not 100% sure of what this error means, having never seen it before,
but I'm sure it's something to do with a failure to create an ODBC
instance. You say the sites have an identical setup, if they do, something
has gone haywire on one (windows voodoo), but I'd guess you have different
versions of the MS Data Access Components installed on both machines (ODBC
is one of the components included) - get the latest copy of MDAC and
fingers crossed the problem will be resolved.
