I'm positive this is a computer side error, as I'm not seeing it anywhere else in our network. I have ODBC DSNs being pushed out via Group Policy (via registry settings). On all other computers this has been working flawlessly. On this one computer, I can go into ODBC Administrator, on the System DSN tab and see the DSN I'm looking for. Within MS Access 2003 (Office 2010 installed w/o Access - Access 2003 is installed), I open up the given database, and end up with: Run-time error '3151'' ODBC --connection to 'dbase' failed (where dbase is the name of our DSN I get out of the error, click on File > Get External Data > Link Tables Set 'Files of type' to "ODBC Database" In the Select Data Source window I click on the Machine Data Source tab and I do not see the DSN listed there; however, again it is showing within ODBC Administrator as a System DSN. Does anyone have any ideas?

On the computer u try to run with administrator the regedit to create the ODBC? The other computers have windows 7? I want to be a MVP! | Computer Technician - MCITP Enterprise Administrator 2008

Yes, the group policy pushes out the ODBC DSNs via registry settings. Our domain consists of WinXP and Win7. This computer having the issue is a Win7 machine, other Win7 machines do not have this problem.
