Hi there,

does this require the enterprise edition?

thanks,

Yes, just looking thru their materials, they provide ODBC access to the Salesforce SOAP API, so you would need Salesforce Enterprise Edition.

This looks great. I'm trying to integrate sforce to an MS Access front end app. However, when I try to link tables into this ODBC source, Access crashes

Have you been able to use the OpenAccess ODBC driver with any other ODBC compliant application? We have tested it here by trying to link to the Account table without any issues. We have done our testing from Office 2003.  Some people have had issues because they do not register the required .NET component in the .NET cache. This prevents any application from use the OpenAccess ODBC driver. This is explained in steps (3) on this page: http://www.openaccesssoftware.com/support/SalesF-Files-Index.asp.

Currently the OpenAccess ODBC driver does not support updates and because of this we do not expose a unique key for any of the Salesforce objects. This causes MS Access to pop up a dialog box asking you to select a key column. For now you should click CANCEL on this dialog box.

If this does not resolve your issue then please contact us at support@OpenAccessSoftware.com and we will work with you to resolve it.

Has anyone managed to get this working (assuming the answer is yes) as I can't!!

I've tried 4 different computers now and each time I get the below error when trying to open the driver through a DSN in ASP VB.

"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed"

Appreciate that this isn't a support forum but getting this working is on the critical path for the project.  Have spoken with OpenAccess Support but they haven't been able to suggest a fix!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
