ODBC from MS-Accesss gives error ((-7701) and (-7702))

[yoasty]

I use odbc connections to sqlite (work flawlessly) and would like to add connections to duckdb.
Has anybody got the connections working flawlessly.

On trying to connect as an external table I get "Reserved error (-7701); there is no message for this error." and if I create a DSN I get "Reserved error (-7702); there is no message for this error."

I have tried installing the latest MS-C-re-distributable and under "language settings " ticking the utf-8 experimental setting. I have also changed system settings for region and language to English-US to minimize the risks.

but with all settings test-odbc gives the same results.

Same problem for me

I can add here that Excel / External Data / ODBC does not stop with error-messages, but fails to present a list of tables to choose from. So there is not much one can do with the DSN nor with making a connection to a file.

Same issues:

• ODBC from MS-Accesss gives error ((-7701) and (-7702))
• Excel / External Data / ODBC does always connect to :menory:, database-file is ignored.
