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

    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.

    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
