Hey,

 

thanks for the hint. I had to specify the dsn as user-dsn and not as file-dsn!!!

Now it’s working.

 

Have a nice weekend

Betreff: Re: [Gretl-users] Access 2007 database connection?

 

Hi,

I am not an expert, nor I have Access 2007. However, the error message you 
present, makes me wonder if you have the ODBC driver properly set up to access 
the database (database name and authentication credentials). That error 
happened when Gretl tried to open the database, but the driver did not 
succeeded.

Good luck,
Helio

Hi there,

I've got an Access 2007 database and my first tries to establish a
connection were disappointing, failing in the
'open' stage : Error in SQLConnect [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager].
I'm new to that stuff and have no idea how to fix the problem. Both the
database and GRETL are in on my Windows 7 PC.
I would appreciate your help!!!
