(0x80004005) ][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

[Algomeysa2]

Ok, I don't think this is that complicated, but I can't get it working
right.

I could work this fine under PWS and Win98. Having various difficulties
under XP Professional and IIS.

for the sake of example, assume there's an .MDB file in:
c:\inetpub\database\whatever.mdb

My paths are correct, but I'm consistently getting:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default
driver specified

I think this involves going to the folder, or the file, or both, going to
properties, Security Tab, and changing rights.

But I've tried giving Full rights to the various Users, and I still get the
error.

I've done various websearches on the error, and I find various references
similar, but none quite seem to solve my problem.

I'm sure someone else has had this problem with XP Professional and IIS with
an .MDB file.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why do I get database-related 80004005 errors?

Thanks. I read through much of that FAQ, but none of what was listed
really seemed to apply.

However, I knew this was working for me Monday evening, so what I finally
did was do a Windows XP System Restore for Monday evening.

And now it's working again, so something between now and then screwed up my
system for the ODBC Drivers.

Weird. Wish I knew quite what the culprit was so I could avoid it
happening again.

yeah, but nothing that should have wiped out the ODBC drivers.

actually, the main thing I recall installing was an update of my ISP
software with a spyware blocker/protector.

Oh well. Two Thumbs Up for Windows XP System Recovery!

I don't know what I did, but as long as I can make it Wednesday night again
when everything was working fine.... I'm not dead in the water.
