I am testing an application that uses mysql that works 100% fine with Microsoft Windows XP on Windows Vista Premium Home Edition.

Using Vista's ODBC Data Source Administrator I have set up and successfuly tested the DSN Connection to the Database.

However, when I call the set up DSN with the application I get [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.

I am using the mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-win32.

I have tried editing the registry DSN files - the problem still persists.

Does anybody know a way to solve this problem.

Hi ! Exactly the same problem for me. I had this problem on XP that I solved in introducing the VBA6.dll file in windows system32, but it doesnt work on Vista now. Notice that the ODBC connexion works 100% fine from Excel queries (date > external data) on Vista.
I think the problem refers to find the good dll for Access 2003 for Vista.
As soon as I will find I will post.

I have the same error here. For many years the installer and the app run fine on all other Windows OS's, but on Vista the app cannot see the system dsn's, which are correctly created by our apps installer. When the app tries to open a window that uses the system dsn, I get the error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified. I have turned off uac, run the installer, app, and driver as administrator, given full permissions to all of these. I did the old sfc /scannow. The firewall is shut down. is there something I am forgeting to give permissions to? The driver is a topspeed odbc driver for reading topscan .tps flat file database files.
