Digital Workshop

I have built a publication using a XP computer. The publication relies on variables from a access database using ODBC to populate a page. When published everything is operational if run on an XP computer. Unfortunately when run on a 98 computer the page that is populated via the database does not work ie the variables are not shown.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

It is possible that the Windows 98 does not have any ODBC drivers installed. Please download the latest Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en and install these on the Windows 98 to see if this resolves the problem.

If the problem persists, it sounds as though you have used one of the regionalised Access ODBC drivers, such as "Driver do Microsoft Access" or "Microsoft Access Treiber" when setting up the DSN. These drivers have not been updated by Microsoft for some time and have been known to cause problems on Windows 95, 98 and ME systems.

Please recreate the DSN, but ensure that you use the English "Microsoft Access Driver". You should now find that the publication operates on all systems without problems.

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries.

Kind regards,
