ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed for one user but not another

In Win7, we're linking tables in an MS Access 2010 db to tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 db. The driver user by the File dsn is SQL Server version 6.01.7601.17514 & we're using SQL Server Authentication.
For some reason, one user gets the msg "ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed" before they're even asked for a password, but for other users, the prompt comes up and when they uncheck the Windows Auth box, they enter their password
and connect successfully to the SQL Server db.  Both users have db_datareader access to the SQL Server db.
I had the user that gets the error msg log onto my PC and they get the same error (yet it works for me.)
This user was, however, able to successfully relink the tables, but then when we closed the access db and opened it again, the user got the "ODBC--connection..." error agin.
I'm stumped as to why this is happening for one user.

Hello Knellen,
Please help to collect more log information regarding this issue, such as windows event log, SQL Sever log information. They are helpful for us to troubleshoot it.

  • VC model fails for one user but not another - both have same auths

    We have a VC model that we created and moved to Prod (portal NW04s connecting to BW 3.5 query).  It works fine for user A, but user B gets error:
    #1.5#0003BADBD644002D000000030000053D0004282F58AC16AC#1170083723088#com.sap.port

    cute native function. Nested Exception. INVALID_VARIABLE_VALUES
    Both user have same authorizations in Portal and BW backend.
    There is no trace info on the BW back end, so it seems like the hangup is occuring on the portal side.

    It turns out it was the backend authorizations.  The user was able to view the BW query via the BEX Explorer.  But when she tried to access it via a VC Flex IView, we got that error.  Initially I wasn't seeing any auth traces in the BW system, but then we expaneded the trace and determined the user was missing an activity.   It's a strange error.  Would be nicer to see a 'user not authorized' or something along those lines to better pinpoint the cause.  But we're good now.

  • After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
    much smaller then than they are now.
    The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
    fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
    Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
    Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
    I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.

  • Safari works for one user but not another on same computer

    MacBook with multiple user accounts. Safari (and Firefox) work fine for one user but are unable to open web pages when the other user is logged in. The error in Safar is "Safari can't open the page "http://xxxxxxxxx/" because it could not connect to the server "/xxxxxxx/" . DNS is working for this user. I am able to ping any number of sites from Terminal. Network Preference pane is configured to not require any proxy. This is a case of it was working but now it's not.
    Can anybody help with this? I know I can fix this by simply creating another user and transfering the affected user's data to the new account but I would rather not. TIA

    HI Bob,
    You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
    Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.

  • Application works for one user but not another......Please help

    Hi just wondering if anyone can help.
    We have an app (get i_player automator) that we have been successfully using for the last year or so.  The other day our internet connection died mid download and the app stopped responding. 
    Rather than force quit darling hubby did something fancy with the terminal window (not entirely sure what but I remember kill, bash and gerlp??). 
    Anyway since then the app will start appear in the doc (bouncing happily up and down) but no window will open.  This happens just on my log in.  If I ctrl click the application is listed as not responding.
    The app works correctly for other users on the same machine.
    I have tried the following to no avail
    Turning off and on again
    Deleting the app and re installing
    Any ideas?

    Most applications work user-per-user, maybe your darling has to do some more of that magic in the Terminal on your account?

  • Flash not working for one user, but not another on this CPU

    Hi,
    For user A on my computer most video will play in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. But video at nfl.com will not play. The ads will play but not the actual feature.
    I just found out that the videos on nfl.com will work for user B. I have rerun the Adobe Flash 10.1 installer in user A's account several times with no luck.
    Are there permissions or libraries I should trash to try to restore this capability?
    thanks,
    Steve

    HI,
    For user A on my computer
    Try uninstalling the current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.
    Uninstall Flash
    Install the most recent version of Flash here.
    Now repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    You may also need to delete the Flash cache. Instructions here.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11672709&#11672709
    If that doesn't help, install the v10.6.4 Combo Update It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.4.

  • IPhoto 08 imported for one user but not another

    We have iPhoto '08 ver 7.1.5 and it worked fine with my login. I could import photos from our Canon PowerShot SD960 into my iPhoto library. But when my wife logged in and tried to import the same photos she got a message stating "Unreadable Files" and "the following file could not be imported".
    On her login using Image Capture, she could import the pictures off the camera and save them to her Desktop then she could view and also save them using Preview and could also import them to her iPhoto library from the Desktop folder she had saved them into.
    I reformatted the camera's card and I also used iPhoto Library Manager and rebuilt her Library.
    We can now both import pictures fine but I'm wondering for how long this will be the case.
    Same exact situation existed with another camera we have - it worked for me but not for her.
    Just curious to know what the cause might have been in case it's something we are doing that is causing the issue.

  • Airplay works for one user but not for another on the same machine

    We have a situation where a report is visible to one user but not to some other user. What could be the possible explanation for this? Please let me know.
    I need quick responses.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Sananda,
    Just assign the saem roles as the other user who can view ..
    You can inform the Auth/basis team and they shud be able to do this..
    The T Code is RSECADMIN>user  Tab>Assignment>user.Display and BView the roles here..
    or goto SU01 and check for the Roles Tab.....
    The New user must have the same roles as that of the other..

  • "No connectivity with the server" error for one document but not the other, in the same document library

    We have a number of users all of a sudden getting "No connectivity with the server.  The file 'xxx' can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted." errors trying to open MS Office docs (Word, Excel, etc.) in SharePoint with IE,
    just by clicking the link and selecting the "Read Only" option.  If they select the "Check Out and Edit" option, they can open the document no problem.  One of my customers gets the error on one document but not the other, in
    the same document library!  The older document (a weekly report) was copied and renamed as per standard procedure.  She can read the older document, but not the new one.
    It is definitely a profile issue, as other people have logged onto the machines of the users with problems and do not get the error.  We have also renamed people's c:\user profile folders and the corresponding Profilelist registry entry and the newly
    created profile does not experience the error for these people.  Renaming the profile back restores all their personal settings but the error reappears.  When we copied the old profile's folder structure into the new profile, many of the user settings
    were restored (but not all, like Dreamweaver settings) but the error did not appear.  We think that the system folders files (like AppData) weren't totally copied over so we're going to run another test using xcopy.  We are rebooting between
    logons to make sure all files are unlocked.
    The laptops and computers are mainly 32bit, Win7 Enterprise running IE9 and Office 2010 Professional Plus, but there's a few 64bit machines as well. The SharePoint farm has 1 WFE, 1 App Server running search and CA, and a shared database server running SQL
    2005 SP4.  SharePoint is 64bit MOSS 2007 with the latest CU.
    We've checked the logs on the client as well as on the server and there aren't any helpful entries.  We've also run Process Monitor, also with no helpful entries.  We're planning to run something like Fiddler next.
    It's not everyone, because there are many people are accessing the SharePoint system and the same files.  It is also not a permission thing, as we've tested by giving the users elevated permissions with no changes.  One person experiencing
    the errors is a Site Collection Admin.  That same person ran a test where I coped a simple Excel file into a Document Library which contained a problem file.  They were able to open it Read Only no problems that day, but the next day, the same
    file gave them an error.   In their case, they usually get a "xxx is not checked out" error and only occasionally get the "No connectivity with the server" error.
    We've tried lots of things including:
    Deleting IE cache
    Deleting SharePoint Drafts and webcache folder contents
    Running IE without add-ons
    Upgrading and Downgrading IE
    Uninstalling and re-installing IE
    Reinstalling our SSL certs
    Repairing Office
    Removing and then adding back in the Microsoft Office "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support" Office Tool 
    Deleting all HKLM and HKLU Office registry settings
    Toggling IE Compatibility Settings
    Toggling the IE Automatic Logon option
    Toggling the location of checked out files
    Adding the site in the trusted sites list
    Adding the site to the WebClient\Parameters registry locations
    Making sure the WebClient service is started
    Rebooting the machine (lol :)
    This is becoming a serious issue, not just because of the inconvenience for the users having to check out every document they want to read, but we have some files with macros that open up other documents to run which are now failing.  There aren't
    "check out" workarounds for some of those macros.
    We're planning to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I'm throwing it out here first in case someone has run into this before, or may have some suggestions on what to try next.  Thanks!
    -Richard.
    PS  I think this needs to be in the "General" forum instead?

    It took three days of dedicated troubleshooting, but I have found the cause of the errors, and a couple of fixes.  It helped tremendously that my own machine was throwing the error.  I have scheduled a couple of users to work with me to test the
    various fixes, to see which one works best, so the story isn't over yet.
    I had backed up my c:\users profile folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry key so I could restore my profile after I was done.  I made a copy of the profile folder and was using that for awhile,
    but then made another copy where I had deleted a lot of content out of it so that the copies would go faster.  Since a newly created profile did not have errors, I was trying to copy back as much of the profile as possible to make it easier for our users
    to get back to work.  Instead of blowing away their profile and starting from scratch (which we know worked) I wanted to narrow down what was causing the error and just skip that from the restore.  The concept was to keep as much as the users profile
    in tact (application settings, etc.) not just restoring their desktop and My Documents folders.
    When we first tested a few weeks ago, simply copying the folder contents didn't reproduce the error.  I then tried xcopy, but got the "can't read file" error.  Then I tried robocopy, and ran into the "junction" problem. 
    I went back to xcopy, and found that placing the excludes.txt file in the windows/system32 folder eliminated the error.
    So the process went as follows: 
    Reboot and log into the machine as another user
    Delete the profile and associated registry key
    Reboot and log into the machine as the affected user, creating a new profile, and there is no error
    Reboot and log in as the other user
    xcopy the contents of the skinned-down backed-up profile to the newly created profile
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, and the error occurs
    Repeat the above, but add items in the excludes.txt file to see what, when eliminated, causes the error not to appear in the last step
    I eventually found that skipping the c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\Microsoft\office\14.0 folder allowed the entire profile to be copied over without the error occurring.  That was strange, because we've cleaned out the cache folders
    before which didn't fix the issue. 
    So I went about it the opposite way, and tried to delete the 14.0 folder from the restored profile, and after reboot, the error still occurred.
    What eventually worked was deleting the 14.0 folder and copying over a 14.0 folder from a newly created profile!
    One way to do this was to:
    Reboot and log in as another user
    Rename the c:\users profile folder
    Rename the appropriate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] registry key
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
    Reboot and log in as the other user
    Copy the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder to the other user's desktop
    Delete new profile folder, and rename the backup to be the production folder
    Delete the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder and then paste the 14.0 copy from the desktop
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
    We've tried this on a couple machines and it works.  I had to run Windows Explorer as Administrator to access the other profile's folders.
    We've also successfully copied a 14.0 folder created by one profile on one affected computer over another profile's folder on another computer, eliminating the error, so we're trying that first, as that is fewer steps.
    We may attempt to script this, but the self-help instructions are only 5 lines long:
    Reboot and log into the affected computer with another account
    Go to <link to location of 14.0 folder on network> and copy the 14.0 folder
    Run Windows Explorer as Administrator
    Go to c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\microsoft\office and delete the 14.0 folder, and paste the copied 14.0 folder (trying to overwrite it makes Win7 want to merge the folders)
    Reboot and log into your normal account, and confirm the error is gone
    I'll come back and report after we go into the field with this fix, but after the few tests, I am cautiously optimistic that this is it.

  • Script works for one frame but not another

    I set up 2 keyframes, each one loads a different text file
    into a dynamic text box. The text box for the first keyframe is
    named "session" and the text box for the second keyframe is named
    "oneptq". The text file for the first text box is named Titles.txt
    and the text file for the second keyframe is 100Q.txt. The code I'm
    using is identical (except for the respective names of the text
    boxes and text files) but for some reason the text will load in the
    first text box but not the second.
    Here's my AS for the first keyframe:

    lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
    if(success)
    session.text = lvLoader.textbody;

  • Office 2008 Setup Assistant Loop for one user, but not for another

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to a MacBook Air and migrated everything across using Migration Assistant via WiFi.
    Seems to have gone fine but found that my wife can't get any Office 2008 apps to start up. Word, Excel, etc start up in my account without a hitch but when we try to start any Office app in wife's account the Setup Assistant pops up, asks if we'd like to participate in feedback, then asks to choose to register or learn more. No matter what we choose the Microsoft Updater pops up and prompts to check for updates after this the app closes. We are forever in this loop of trying to open an Office app, checking for updates and then the app closing down. And the app closes even if I quit Setup Assistant and/or Microsoft Updater.
    I've tried dumping various plists but not luck.
    Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated.

    Another copy of this question turned up a couple of weeks later and has been answered. Basically, you have to reinstall Office 2008 from the original media.
