It was worth a shot - sometimes people miss the easy stuff because they're concentrating too hard on the complicated stuff.
It's been close to 10 years since I've really looked at ODBC/OLE access to UD. I see it's as cryptic as it ever was. I seem to recall an old issue that required the UCI file to have a blank line at the end - but I'm pretty sure it had a different error. I remember it worked well once you had the right driver (I had one that would work with Access but not Excel?!?!?) and you pedantically followed all of the steps (even so far as casing on a windows box which is normally case insensitive). Good luck!

After I went through the exercise a couple of times, I got our tech support involved. He's done at least several dozen of these installs, (if not more), and he couldn't resolve it either. We've opened a ticket with Rocket, I figured I'd try here because if it's happening to me, it's probably happened to someone else here, and I might be able to get this resolved reasonably quickly. And of course, it's not that I need ODBC access in and of itself, but rather that I need it to test something I'm developing... Thanks.
