Urgent - error with ODBC driver

I am currently trying to connect to my clients database through an ODBC driver. I get as far as seeing the initial query screen so I can select which tables I want, however when I click on them I get an error:

 

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

 

I can't seem to find anything online about this error. The driver is a 32 bit (i have tried both the read only and the read and right), the desktop version I am running is 32 bit.

 

I am connected to the server wirelessly could this be the issue?

 

Thanks,

 

Giles

Hi Giles,

 

Which ODBC driver are you using? Have you tried the latest (7/1) version of Power BI?

 

Please send us a frown email with all the error details and traces you have (Enable the traces on PBI Desktop: Options > Diagnostics > Enable Tracing)

 

Thanks

@GilesWalker are you connecting by creating DSN adn using that DSN in power bi or straight using connection string for ODBC ? I would suggest to create DSN and use that in power bi.
