Hi Well i would first do the following;
1. Check if the ODBC works on the machine 2. Check if the Wordperfect program generates the forms. 3. Check this ODBC connection against some other program. 4. Go home. HTH, E. It's probably a long shot, but you folks have a surprising range and depth of Windows troubleshooting experience. Here's the situation: I developed the LAMP app for this client, and they use Windows on their desktop to generate forms and envelopes from the LAMP app. They use an old 32-bit form-generating program that uses the same ODBC connection to generate their specialized forms. Those forms are working fine, despite the fact that it's 32-bit ODBC drivers now on Win7/64-bit. (Echoing Vince's recent post, it's c:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe to get to the 32-bit ODBC administrator in 64-bit Windows). Ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942976 Client uses WordPerfect 15 (a.k.a. "X5" version 15.0.0.431, the latest update) to generate envelopes using mail merge functionality from a MySQL database via ODBC. However, on 5 of the 7 machines, the WordPerfect envelope mail merge does not work, throwing a "WordPerfect has stopped responding" error message when they hit the "Merge" button to actually merge data. They're all running the same form, which uses a System DSN set up on each machine with their custom settings (essentially, each workstation has its own custom output database, so they can work in parallel without overwriting each other's work.) Each DSN is named the same and has the same settings on each machine. On a machine where it isn't working, I've gone through the ODBC setup screen and tried some of the options (like making the columns fixed-width, using the MyODBC "Safe" flag, etc.) with no change in symptoms. Same version of MyODBC on each machine, installed from a locally cached source (It's an older driver, 3.51.11-2, but a version we locked down on when we got one that worked with all of the software, at that point. Googling for "WordPerfect has stopped responding" and Win7 and MyODBC and a few variations hasn't yielded any good suggestions. Any ideas? -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
