Hi,

I am developing an application in mfc in which I am using ODBC driver for connecting Access database. On my machine it works properly but if I am trying to run .exe on another machine it gives error as- "Data source name not found and no default driver".
Please give me solution.

Thanks.

The Database may not be present at the client side or the database name may be different

Make sure that the Driver is installed and setup correctly on the other machine.

Either the ODBC name does not exist on the other machine or the ODBC drive does not exist on the other machine.
