    ODBC : "the call has failed" in report


    Today I came across this error(ODBC : "the call has failed" ).
    Everything works, the forms im working with and the other reports)

    Is there any explanation for it to show something like this ?
    When I click on " Help " it only shows a very global error that doesn't really help me out .

    some help would be appreciated

    Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps that message came from an error handler. Seems like there is an issue with the ODBC connection needed to support some sort of event. Try to isolate the event and look at the code or if it is happening all the time check to make sure the ODBC connection is good.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
