Connection String for Access 2016 ADODB to SQL Server 2019

  • Upgraded from an Access 2010 ADP database, linked my tables, but I can't connect to the server when the main module is loaded.  Can't figure out the change in the code.

    Unless all you're looking for is sympathy, you'll need to provide more information than this. Existing code, error messages, etc.

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

  • Is there an actual error you are receiving?  There's not enough information here.

    If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?

  • Upgraded to Access 2016 (Not 365) connected to SQL Server 2019.  I am able to link my tables, but when attempting to to open a Form, i receive an OBDC Call error.  then I am prompted for the DSN.  I select the same DSN I used to link the tables, but it's not accepted.

  • The actual error would be much better. WHAT ODBC error?  What SPECIFICALLY did it say?

    How about a screen shot???

  • That's all it says, OBDC Call error.  there is no error number, nothing.  It has to be my connection string, obviously not correct.

    Is the version of Access 32, or 64 bit? You probably need the 64 bit version

    That's your issue.  It will not work
