We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
The following error appears when you query an ODBC data source from Internet Information Server (IIS):

[State=IM003][Error=0][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Specified driver

could not be loaded



CAUSE
This error occurs because the ODBC driver (SQLSRV32.DLL in this case) specified by your DSN is not in the path which is listed in the ODBC.INI file.



RESOLUTION
Check the ODBC driver path specified by your DSN in the ODBC.INI file and correct it. Below is an excerpt from an ODBC.INI file:

[ODBC 32 bit Data Sources] YourDSNname=SQL Server (32 bit)

[YourDSNname] Driver32=D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\sqlsrv32.dll
