One thing that strikes me as odd is that MSDN on SQLDataSources documents the BufferLength2 parameter as
[Input] Length in characters of the *Description buffer.
The value passed to it is sizeof(description). This is all well, as long as sizeof(UCHAR) == sizeof(char), but I don't know if that is actually true, as I don't do much C. UCHAR could be unsigned char, but it could also be Unicode char. Personally, I would try to avoid the direct sizeof() and declare a constant (say) DESCRIPTION_SIZE= 256, and then use
const DESCRIPTION_SIZE= 256;
UCHAR description[ DESCRIPTION_SIZE ];
...
SQLDataSources(
...
description,
DESCRIPTION_SIZE,
...
);
... but I doubt that this is the problematic part, as it would imply an "overly long" description of over 256 bytes in one of the ODBC data sources.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
