ACC97: ODBCKEY.INF in Data Access Pack Contains German String
This article was previously published under Q160953
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
After you install the Data Access Pack included in the Microsoft Office 97
ValuPack, the ODBCKEY.INF file in your Windows\System folder may contain
German character strings in one of the sections in the file.
Follow these steps to remove the unnecessary lines from the ODBCKEY.INF
file:
- Make a backup copy of the ODBCKEY.INF file. The file is located in your
Windows\System folder.
- Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to open the ODBCKEY.INF file and
remove the following lines:
bit Oracle-Treiber
Driver=vsorac32.dll
Setup=orstub32.dll
SQLLevel=1
FileUsage=0
DriverODBCVer=02.50
ConnectFunctions=YYY
APILevel=1
[DA Translators]
Name=MS Code Page-[ASCII 220]bersetzer
Translator=MSCPXL32.DLL
Setup=MSCPXL32.DLL
- Save the file and quit the editor.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access 97.
If you already have a version of the ODBCKEY.INF file on your computer
when you install the Data Access Pack, the Setup program may not overwrite
it with the version containing the German string. Therefore, your
ODBCKEY.INF file may not contain the unnecessary sections after you
install the Data Access Pack.
For more information about obtaining and installing the Data Access Pack,
please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
