I receive the following error message:

My customer is running a law firm accounting package named Trial works that runs off a MS SQL data base located on their Win 2k server. When they try to run trial works they get this message, error attaching to database: ODBC--connection to 'trialworkssql' failed.
all 10 Win 2k workstations get into Trialworks with out a problem, except for one workstation. So proving that the server is not the problem.

When we go to control panel,data sources(ODBC), double click on trialworkssql, hit test data source. Then the test results say:

Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.80.0194

Running connectivity tests...

Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Client unable to establish connection [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unable to load communication module. Driver has not been correctly installed.

TESTS FAILED!

Please offer any help you may have. I going nuts
Thank you


 
Is it the same odbc connection as the other ones? if not try reinstalling. if it is. Try reinstalling. I think your odbc drivers are bad.
