ODBC Connection - Troubles

Giovane — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Since I updated to QlikView 12 I'm facing troubles when trying to connect to any DB, by ODBC connection. When I click on the Connect button, on the script screen, nothing happens. No matter I created a System DNS, or an User DNS, trying to connect to DB is working in a different way, when compared to 11 version, for example. The ODBC connections I've created are not shown in the Connect to Data Source screen.

Any suggestion on how to solve that issue? Is someone that used to use QlikView before 12 version that is facing the same problem, that is facing a different QlikView behavior, when compared to the older version?

Thanks for any contribution.

Did you check the "Force 32 Bit" option?

Hey, Khimhoe...

Yes, I did it...but, I found the trouble is not within QlikView 12. The trouble is related to a conflict between QlikView 12 and Windows 10. I installed QlikView 12 over Windows 7 and It run as expected. I'll search for an answer to my question in another post, or open a new question, now dealing with the right subject.

Thank you for your consideration.
