Failed to load resource DLL odbcint.dll

The resource file, ODBCINT.DLL is either the wrong version or missing.



CAUSE
The Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) files are not present or are incompatible versions for your Office program. For example, the ODBC files are not installed with the Microsoft Office 97 Small Business Edition; however, older versions of the files may be on your hard drive from older software.

Follow these steps to install the correct files on your computer:
 * 1) Insert your Office 97 compact disc or Office 97 Small Business Edition compact disc in your CD-ROM drive. If the compact disc does not Autorun, right-click the Start button, click Explore, and then click your CD-ROM drive.
 * 2) Double-click the ValuPack folder.
 * 3) Double-click the Dataacc folder.
 * 4) Double-click Dataacc.exe to install the necessary files.
