Question : Access ODBC error after moving database

i have an access database.... and it has linked tables via ODBC
the database runs ok on my desktop.

i sent it to someone else and it runs ok on his laptop

but when i move it to the server, i get:
ODBC--call failed.
[ProvideX][ODBC Driver][FILEIO]Table is not accessible(#12)

i know the ODBC driver is installed... i can pull data into excel over ODBC.
i thought maybe the issue was because the server was on Office XP, but i have upgraded it to Office 2003 Pro, which is the version the database was created on.  the error is the same.

i also tried the Linked Table Manager.  i select all the tables to get updated, and i get:
the microsoft jet database could not find object "tablename".  make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly

but if i select just one table at a time to get updated, it does not give an error (but the query still give the ODBC--call failed error)

ideas?
thanks

Answer : Access ODBC error after moving database

It looks like it is trying to use the providex ODBC driver, which I dont think is the correct driver for an SQL backend. Try recreating your DSN on the server, making sure you select the right SQL driver.
