Razzak and Buddy, thanks for your emails. Everything looks OK in the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialogs; my RB data source is configured for 7.6 ver. 4 (7.06.04.30630) and I see the RB "Engine" graphic next to it when I'm in Configure. I removed an older RB 7.0 driver.
The two 7.6 DLLs are present in WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (file dates 7 and 8 July). But still when I try to connect, I get the "126" error. Microsoft's ODBC Test gives the following result on the "handshake" test (my RB data source populates correctly here, so I can select it for the test): ========== SQLDriverConnect returned: SQL_ERROR=-1 dbc: szSqlState = "IM003", *pfNativeError = 160, *pcbErrorMsg = 99, *ColumnNumber = -1, *RowNumber = -1 MessageText = "Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126 (R:BASE 7.6 Database Driver (*.rb1))." dbc: szSqlState = "IM003", *pfNativeError = 160, *pcbErrorMsg = 99, *ColumnNumber = -1, *RowNumber = -1 MessageText = "Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126 (R:BASE 7.6 Database Driver (*.rb1))." ========== The RB data source here is a very simple one-table two column database. It almost looks like we're getting to the front door, but no further? There's nothing in the Event Viewer. Environment is WinXP, SP3, on an IBM ThinkPad T42. Is there some way to debug just why the driver is refusing to load? Thanks very much! Tom Hawley New York [EMAIL PROTECTED]
