asked on

is and ODBC connection machine specific? or how do i run queries?

on my desktop i have created an Access 2000 database (located on a shared network folder) which has an ODBC connection to several tables in a Quickbooks file.

I can run the queries using the linked tables fine on my desktop.

however, i installed the ODBC driver on another user's desktop [he has access 2007] but when i try to run the same queries using the shared Access 2000 database I receive the error
        ODBC - connection to {QODBC OEM Driver} failed

within quickbooks i have tested the ODBC connection and the tests come back positive.

is the linked ODBC table specific to my machine so only I can run the query?

thanks!
