This article was previously published under Q164957



SYMPTOMS
When you open and close a database connection many times, the following error message may appear:

Initialization of the dynamic link library

d:\winnt32\system32\odbccr32.dll failed. The process is terminating normally

In one case, the error occurred on the 54th time the connection was opened. This happens when you use the version 2.50.3321 ODBC components that came with the Visual C++ 4.x Alpha products.

You can duplicate the behavior by calling CDatabase::Open followed by a corresponding CDatabase::Close in a loop.



CAUSE
The problem appears to be with the ODBC components.



RESOLUTION
To work around the problem, use the ODBC 3.0 components for Alpha which are available on the Internet at the following Web site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/Default.aspx



STATUS
This problem was corrected in Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server, version 3.0.
