... I should be more specific
on a machine running MS SQL Server 7 you should have this as one of the
entries in your Path variable (entries seperated by semicolon):
C:\MSSQL7\BINN
(or whatever it is on your machine)
on a machine running Oracle you should have this:
C:\Oracle\Ora81\bin

Best guess:
Someone installed something on your machine and blew out the PATH system
variable. You'll probably have to recreate it. I know on Win NT you
right-click My Computer, go to properties, and click the environment tab.
You should have a Path variable in the SYSTEM section. I think in Win 2k
it's under the ADVANCED tab (instead of the environment tab).
Just a guess...

Subject: ODBC terror...
So we use a bunch of different databases on one server... including ACCESS,
SQL SERVER (connected to another machine) , MySQL (connected to another
machine)... we have been running this for the better part of a year solid...
A few days ago, the system started regularly throwing this error:
Template: D:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\INDEX.CFM
ODBC Error Code = ()
Unable to instantiate environment for 'ODBC.'
what in the world causes this? Anyone know of a bug/error/best case steps
for eliminate this? when it happens we have to hard reboot the server... no
stopping service and restarting stuff... it is becoming way too annoying...
all our other systems seem to be working fine... I am stumped.
