I just installed SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition on Windows XP SP1, then
applied SQL Server SP3a. I registered my local database with EM and a
database on another computer. The local registration is via Windows
Authentication, the other via SQL Authentication. When I attempt any of the
Open Table items from the context menu, I receive the following error:

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Only SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT is allowed when
connection pooling is enabled.

Doesn't matter which server, which database. Any ideas? I can open the
tables fine from Visual Studio 6, Visual Studio.NET 2003 and via a query in

In a lot of cases, this has been caused by MDAC issues. You
can check your MDAC installation with component checker
utility or reinstall the latest MDAC. You can download the
component check as well as MDAC installations from the links

Sue,

Thank you. What I failed to mention (didn't think it was relevant) was that
somewhere along the line I installed Visual Studio 6.0 SP6. I was also having
problems with the diagramming tools in SQL EM and read your other post
regarding the version of mdt2df.dll that SP6 installs. So, I did get the MDAC
Component Checker and indeed, the following DLLs:

- Program Files\Common Files\system\ole db\OLEDB32.DLL
- Program Files\Common Files\system\ole db\SQLOLEDB.DLL
- System32\ODBC32.DLL
- System32\odbccp32.dll
- System32\SQLSRV32.DLL

were found to be mismatched (all were newer versions than what was
expected). I also had version 2.0.0.9586 of mdt2df.dll. I managed to get
version 2.0.0.8908 from a colleague, renamed the newer version, and copied
8909 into the right folder and that fixed this problem and the diagramming
problem.

Thanks again,

Rick

Glad it's straightened out now - and thanks a lot for
posting back all the details! That helps everyone when
people follow up with a post like yours.
