Trying to get ODBC to work on a Vista machine we are getting an error I
haven't seen before.
ODBC Registration file "c:\Program Files\ADS\Business
Rules!\ODBC_REG.DAT" can not be openened [-1].
Has anyone run across this before? Any solutions?

[BR_forum] ODBC error in Vista
BR wants to put the BR.INI file in the %WINDIR% (c:\windows) directory.
Vista is extremely protective of this directory and will not allow the
file to be there. You can stick it there by running as the
administrator for the machine (just a member of the administrator's
group will not suffice, you must be THE ADMINISTRATOR. Even so, you may
find that the file disappears after a while because something somewhere,
possibly the registry, does not tell vista it's OK.
If you figure out how to get the file to stay there and to keep any
changes that you make to it please let us know.

[BR_forum] ODBC error in Vista
The BR.INI file is actually in the windows directory. The install works
correctly, including setting up of the Data sources. It is only when I
try and retrieve data, the spash screen comes up, then I get the error.

[BR_forum] ODBC error in Vista
As a follow up, we discovered what the issue was with Vista. Not
suprisingly (in hindsight) it was UAC that was messing up the ODBC. We
disabled UAC and reinstalled and everything ran fine.
