126 translates to "module not found" (OS error - NET HELPMSG gets). Maybe a
missing / mismatched DLL

1. I would recommend running the MDAC Compnent Checker as per

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8f0a8df6-4a21-4b43-bf53-14332ef092c9&displaylang=en

2. Maybe check for exisitance of SQLSRV32.dll (SQL ODBC Driver) in
WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

and also run DEPENDS.exe on the SQLSRV32.dll to see if its missing any
modules(Dll's) it needs - in various Resource kits but also here

http://www.dependencywalker.com/

3. Check registry to see if
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\SQL Server\ Driver and Setup
keys point at the right DLL in System32

cheers.
Andy.
