Auto ODBC Connection

I am scheduling an automated task involving an Access database macro. This macro consists of a number of queries. One of these queries involves two tables that are linked to an Oracle database using the ODBC connection. Since an automated schedule does not allow you to enter any oDBC login info anywhere in the setup screens, I need to write a VB code in Access to simulate this automatic ODBC connection login process. Has anybody written such code that I can use ?

Re: Auto ODBC Connection

I have been attempting to use a Passthrough query after such connection is made; and that has also proven to be a huge issue. It seems that MARS could really make this process easier; The queries when run independently work no problems; but when you try to have MARS run it automatically it stinks and times out. When I spoke with TechSupport they gave me the same links shown in the thread; but still have not gotten it to work

Re: Auto ODBC Connection

The functionality you require is in MARS V5 Build 20070604. No need to write your own vba code. Simply fill in the security details in the new tab in the custom task and schedule your macro/query as normal.
