FIX: Data transfer using ODBC Driver for SQL Server fails (286750)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (all editions)
This article was previously published under Q286750 BUG #: 235843 (SHILOH_bugs) SYMPTOMS When you use the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server as
either the source connection driver or the destination connection driver with
the SQL Server Import/Export Wizard, and you choose the Copy Objects and Data Between SQL Server Databases option, you may receive the following error message:
Unable to connect to source server
for transfer.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
Driver][SQL Server]Login Failed for user ' '. CAUSE This error message is caused by incorrectly receiving the
connection information from a SQL Server ODBC connection. The fix provided by
SQL Server 2000 U.S. Service Pack 1 disables the Copy Objects and Data Between SQL Server Databases option in the Import/Export wizard when a connection to SQL
Server over ODBC is used.
