Microsoft ODBC

Dear Experts,

My client using Win 7 Pro x64 bit are able to access their inhouse software.

Now with the new Processor, we cannot downgrade to Win 7.

It is a Win 10 Pro x64.

The issue now is in the odbcad32, System DNS, I tried to add the SQL server

It says
"Connection failed:
SQLState: '08002'
SQL Server Error: 0
[Microsoft]ODBC SQL Server Driver]SQL Server version 6.5 and all previous versions are no longer supported

Hi! Guys,

I don't think I can suggest to my client to upgrade their SQL version as they are using some in-house software to manage their client database and matters.

In Win7 Pro x64, I will go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

The System DNS tab which is empty I will add 3 records, they are

account, acct2000, and infobase

Under which SQL server to connect to I will select

WLAWSQL, WLAWSQL and X.x.x.x

Click Next

I select With SQL Server authentication using a login ID and password entered by the user user

In Connect to SQL Server to obtain default settings for the additional configuration options,

I enter Login ID: sa and the password.

I will put a tick to Change the default database is Account, Account and Infobase

Click Next and Finish.

Click on Test Data Source -> TESTS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!

Click Ok and Ok

The record will display

Name               Driver
account            SQL Server
acct2000          SQL Server
infobase           SQL Server

When I did this for Win 10 Pro x64, only infobase was added successfully, the other two had the error.

Hi! Lee,

I know what you mean. The server is virtualised in a VMWare environemnt.

The thing is that the developer of the company has left a few years so there is no one who has the knowledge of upgrading their SQL servers to a new version.

We are hoping to get the user connected to the SQL database first, the upgrading will come until Microsoft ends the use of Win 7 Pro.
