When it comes to Windows, you make sure you can recover before you install anything.

Paul, is that just general precaution you exercise with any new software, or has the ODBC driver actually taken down your system before? I have never heard of such a problem (I've seen the application crash as you described earlier, but not an entire system; and I am not aware of any "crash" defects like that in the 5.1.0.1 driver).

Hi Paul, Try the 5.1.0.1 ODBC driver. From Excel XP, I am able to use the "Import" feature as well as the DB query feature (via MSQRY32) to get data into an Excel spreadsheet. By the way, even they are not supported, with this version of the driver, I have had success in connecting via: - DB2 Warehouse Manager - JDBC-ODBC bridge - ActiveState Perl (version 5.005_03, build 522 + roth ODBC driver dated 12-21-1991 from www.roth.net) - Crystal Reports (known to work with earlier TSM ODBC driver versions) - Access XP (probably will be supported this year) - Excel XP (probably will be supported this year) - VBScript (known to work with earlier TSM ODBC driver versions) - Visual Basic 6.0 (using Microsoft ADO Data Control 6.0 SP4 and Microsoft DataGrid Control 6.0 SP5) Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/IBM@IBMUS Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

Actually Andy, I cannot remember what I was trying to do with EXCEL XP. But, when I tried it again I get an application error trying to read location 0x0. A test connection works, but I cannot do the OK to open the database. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Raibeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 10:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM/ODBC connection not working... What version of the ODBC driver are you using, which version of Excel, and what symptoms are you seeing? The latest ODBC driver should work okay with Excel 97 and 2000 (haven't tested with Office XP yet, but in theory, should work there, too). You can confirm the version by starting the ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe), selecting the "Drivers" tab, then scrolling down and looking at the "TSM ODBC Driver" driver. You should then be able to see the driver's version number and build date.

When I installed it on W2K, I had to logoff and back on. Do not know why but that was the minimum restart to get it to work. I worked on it for hours. I have never been successful at using EXCEL but I have been very successful with ACCESS. What application are you trying to use to access the database. -----Original Message----- From: Coats, Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 1:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM/ODBC connection not working...
