ODB Connection Error

[MaisieRahbar]

Hi,

Trying to get connected to ODB. Is there any restrictions in the pass for Alteryx?

Error: Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index

Cheers,

Maisie

Hi @MaisieRahbar 

Have you set up an ODBC connection or are you trying to use a connection string? Can you tell us more about how you have configured your connection?

Hi,

I've added my data source and then in Alteryx I used Input Data> Data connection > 32 bit data connection > I insert username and pass for that specific data source. Then I get that error. My password has some symbols such as # + _  [ ; .

As an update on my question:

The problem was with ; in my password. I took it out and then problem solved.
