Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe).
Select the tracing tab and click on the button Start Tracing
Now. This will start a generic ODBC trace using the log file
specified in the Log File Path on the Tracing tab of the
ODBC Data Source Administrator.
When you are done tracing, make sure to turn if off as it
will slow things down. To turn off the tracing, open the
ODBC Data Source Administrator, select the Tracing tab and
click on the Stop Tracing Now button.
You can review ODBC errors in the trace file.
