Excel Link

When I click on Setup as seen in the image below.
No window pop's up.

I dont understand what is wrong.  Has any one faced the similiar situation.

I am using 64 bit Windows 7 OS with Navisworks 2011.

Hi Raghavendra,

The Setup button launches the ODBC driver's setup if any is available. From the connection string in use, I would guess that this is a DSN you have created, rather than direct use of an ODBC driver in Navisworks (it says DSN=)?

DSNs are files set up within Windows' Control Panel/ODBC that already contain all the connection information required. There is no associated setup for these; all configuration is done within Windows' ODBC applet in Control Panel.

From an enhancement point of view, we should probably disable the button when DSNs are used.

Please also note that 64-bit ODBC is limited in support; Microsoft only provide Excel drivers with Office 2010; previously they were part of the OS.

Hope that helps,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff, for the information.

Also I found a thread where John Lipp, has given a procedure that Autodesk claims to have tested and works.
