Connection Error: M004 ODBC Driver Manager, SQLAllocHandle on SQL_Handle_ENV failed

Getting a connection error when attempting to edit a db connection. It is usually resolved when I restart Alteryx, but then only works a few times, then starts failing again, until a restart. Its very inconvenient, and annoying. How can I solve this?

 

See attached screenshot of error.

Hello @Dan5 

Based on https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Connection-to-SQL-Server-DB-Error-IM00...

This could be a simple fix by uninstalling the drivers and re-installing them.


Hope this helps!
