Connection to native database through DSN data source

Hi community

I have connected PowerBI to Microsoft Dynamics NAV database (Native) and in the beginning it worked without problems (I have to use the PowerBI 32-bit installation). But then I started to add more tables and also some steps in the queries. I could still update the tables, but suddenly when I had 6 tables with many steps I faced below fail:

 

"DimItem

ODBC: ERROR [S1000] [Simba][SimbaEngine ODBC Driver][DRM File Library]The operating system returned the error (183):Cannot create a file when that file already exists. Error: 183 ERROR [IM006] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed ERROR [01000] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The driver doesn't support the version of ODBC behavior that the application requested (see SQLSetEnvAttr)."
 

I have tried to remove some of the tables and steps in the queries again, but I still face the fail message.

I hope one of you can help me.

@Anonymous , Not very clear. But if you have 32-bit power bi, you have to install 32 bit odbc driver too
