"ODBC Microsoft Access 97 driver login failed.    
x:\iix\efb\database\plus32.mdb isn't a valid path
"
 

Problem:
This error could occur when trying to launch Express for Browsers.
 
Solution:
The error results when the Express for Browsers client is unable to "see" the EfB database at the location indicated.  This location comes from information in the EXPPLUS.INI file located in the subirectory C:\WINDOWS (or whatever directory Windows is installed in).

Situations where this might occur:

  1. Database file (Plus32.MDB) or Database directory ( \DATABASE ) is missing.  Make sure you can find the file through Windows Explorer or DOS.   If the directory or file is missing, you will have to reinstall.
  2. The database is located on a Novell® 3.x network and part of the path may be a Long File Name format. For instance:  F:\Express for Browsers\Database\Plus32.MDB.   Using this example, rename the portion of the path that is using the long file name.  Using Windows® Explorer, rename the Express for Browsers folder to EfB then rerun the Workstation setup.
  3. The network drive or directory name in which Express for Browsers is installed has changed and the user has not rerun the Workstation setup.  Rerun the Workstation setup.
