ODBC call failed error

  • Hi all,

    I am experiencing an odbc call failed followed a login box typically every few minutes on my program

    it seems to occur on queries which update large amounts of data a one time

    DAO 3.6 syntax and libraries are being used

    Latest mdac installed

    winxp professional sp1

    sql server 2000 sp3

    win2k3 server

    the only problem is that trace logs from sql server or odbc only tell me the connection has been dropped, which i know but there doesnt seem to be any reason for it...

    anyone have any ideas or a similar issue ??

    any one solved this issue or can point me in the right direction

    the program is written in access xp format

  • Please provide some more information about your Access XP program.  Are the SQL tables linked?  Is it a standard Access progarm (mdb) or an Access Project (adp)?  Are you using an Access query to update the data? 

    Access queries have a default ODBC timeout value of 60 seconds.  This can be found by going to design view of the query then going to View --> Properties.

  • HI

     

    the SQL tables are linked, it is a standard access program

    the query used is an access query

    yes i have set the timeout of the query to be greater but this does not solve the issue,

    i have tried taking the query and placing it in a stored procedure but the same error occurs

    as does also placing wait commands before and after the code...

    finally running the program on the server (where SQL is) results in the same error

    any other ideas i might try to solve this ?
