There are various ODBC errors possible. The following items may help in troubleshooting ODBC errors. 1. Setup ODBC connection; 2. Check the Data Property of your fields on a label and make sure that they all reference the name from Step 1. 3. Never use a default name for the Data Source like: dBase Files, Excel Files, MS Access Database. 4. Make sure that the Data Source Name is available for the user that is printing labels. 5. If the database file was updated, make sure that none of the column headings or table names were changed. The label template won’t recognize the new names. 6. If the database table name or columns headings were changed in the database, the label format needs to be modified to reflect the new names.
