I downloaded the lotus notes odbc driver and installed it When I tried to add a data source using the ODBC data source administrator using the lotus notes driver I get the following error: The. Lotus Notes ODBC Driver Error.

I am trying to use IBM ODBC Driver for Notes/Domino 9.0 with Lotus Notes 9 to access distribution lists. I have successfully added a datasource (referencing a server) in ODBC Manager like so: I have added the. IBM Notes location to my PATH, as well as the driver's location. NotesSQL as suggested elsewhere. However when testing the connection using ODBCTest (or other software), the following error occurs: I suspect this has something to do with not finding the correct notes.ini file (which is mentioned ). Acer travelmate p243 lan driver for windows xp. I see there are multiple notes.ini files on my filesystem, so I attempted to test each one. I tried appending the location of each of these files to the beginning of PATH in turn, but none of these changes fixed the issue.

I also noticed none of the existing notes.ini files are in the. IBM Notes folder with notes.exe where IBM suggests notes.ini lives by default. How do I: 1) determine which is the correct notes.ini 2) get Notes SQL to recognize that notes.ini, assuming that's the underlying issue.

Try running regedit and searching your registry for entries containing 'notes.ini'. With luck, all the entries that you find will point to the same one.

And in general, all programs that use the Notes API should respect the command-line syntax that specifies the notes.ini location using the same equals sign syntax shown above. I'm not sure if that applies to using the ODBC drivers or not, but once you've located the correct path you can try using that syntax in the command line that starts your program. – Aug 4 '16 at 15:33.

I need to install Lotus NotesSQL Driver (current version is 8.5) onto a virtual machine running XP. Here's what's I've done so far: • I retrieved the file ( CZOWFEN.zip) from the IBM website.

• I ran the exe. • I then went to My Computer-> Properties-> Advanced-> Environmental Settings-> System Variables-> Path and added '; c: notessql' so the ODBC Administrator could find Notes.ini (why the setup file didn't do this in the first place, i don't know). • I opened up the ODBC Administrator and tried to add a new System DSN to a Lotus DB. 'The setup routines for the Lotus Notes SQL Driver ( *.nsf) ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126' • I redownloaded and reinstalled the driver (making sure I had the latest version 8.5). • I checked the registry. All the file paths appeared to be correct.

• Per many, many similar cases on the internet, I tried several different variations of adding the various Lotus Notes folders to my PATH variables. I've done this setup on 5 different machines now with no problem. The only difference here is that this machine is virtual.
