ODBC error with factory service DVDs
I just picked up a 2003 version of the 1996 - 1999 service DVD for my 1998 Mustang GT and ran into a problem with ODBC connectivity. If you are having ODBC errors with some DVDs, this should help resolve your issues.
Some of the data is stored on the DVD in a folder called DATABASE. Some of the javascript code in the installation folder C:\TSO have path information of databases. In my installation, I found 3 files.
wiring_sql.js - 2 occurrences
serv_wd_com.htm - 1 occurrence
edirect.asp - 1 occurrence
The line will read
strConnect = "DBQ=" + strRoot + "databases\\" + strThisMarket + "\\" + .........
It should be
strConnect = "DBQ=" + strRoot + "database\\" + strThisMarket + "\\" + .........
This worked on XP, but not on Windows 7. I could debug it further on Windows 7 but I have an XP machine laying around.
Hope this helps someone somewhere and that this is the right place for it.
