Hi, A clean account is almost necessary. ODBC is very picky and we found that our data was OK but that the dictionaries were full of 10 years worth of "difficulties" :)
It was easier to create a new account, populate the VOC with file pointers to the data files but create the dictionary locally. Then we could put only the data items we wanted to expose into the dictionary. This allowed us to format data differently from what the users needed to see and ensure that clean dictionaries were presented.

Firstly, do you need this file in your account? Oddly enough, most of my "hard to fix" problems with ODBC have been caused by the various preparation/export programs crashing on system files we've never touched. If you don't need it, delete the VOC entry. I had it crash on PTERM.FILE - a system-supplied multi-part file. Secondly, go to pickwiki, find the page on Universe, and then look at the page on ODBC. You might find it useful as it describes my tribulations with 9.6. Bear in mind that these export routines process EVERYTHING, so the entire account needs to be nice and clean, not just the files you're exporting :-( Cheers, Wol -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mac Bhyat Sent: 25 June 2008 14:44 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] UVODBC Account Activation Hi, I know it's a very old version of uv - maybye 9.5 or possibly even 9.4 Mac -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Youngman Sent: 25 Jun 2008 12:41 To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' Subject: RE: [U2] UVODBC Account Activation Not that I know much about this error but ... What version of UV are you running? I've set up ODBC on both 9.6 and 10.2, and the later version seems to be a lot more robust ...
