[dba-SQLServer] SQL error in Excel query to IBM DB2 data source

[Zimmer, Michael]

Yep, I did change only one variable at a time and worked my way through each variable.  I guess now I'll have to put the two laptops side by side and start looking for differences in set-up etc.  

This is a lot of work just to get column names changed!

Did you try renaming one field at a time? It could be that one field is causing this issue.

Ouch!  Monday morning brain reboot needed.

Found the ODBC DSN in the ODBC Create New Data Source wizard.
"Use ANSI Quoted Identifiers" checked on by default.  Unchecked = no change "Use ANSI nulls, padding's and warnings" checked on by default.  Unchecked = no change I tried various combinations of the above all with no change to problem.
Then I unchecked the "Perform translation for character data" box to see if that would help.  = no change.

Still stumped in Wisconsin.  Ugh!

The OBDC DSN should contain a parameter "Use ANSI Quoted Identifiers:"
Set it to Yes and No and see what happens.
