reserved error (-7748): there is no message for this error

To resolve this error, set WorkArounds2=8192 for your data source.

 

This can be done by using the registry editor (REGEDIT).  

For a USER Data Source, select the following registry key: \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\OBDC.INI\(YOUR_DSN_NAME).

For a SYSTEM Data Source, select the following registry key: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\OBDC.INI\(YOUR_DSN_NAME).

Right click, and select 'New' and then 'String Value'. Set the name of the new string to 'WorkArounds2' and its value to 8192.

NOTE: Windows 95, 98, or Me platforms require a reboot after making these changes.
