>>How come I have many customers who buy computers all the time (Windows 10) and they all have the legacy ODBC driver. How come your customer does not have it?
I can only tell you what I see on my HP ZBook that arrived also without at least one of the MS dll dependencies needed by Sweet Potato flls, but with loads of other junk. Perhaps HP has better insight re upcoming updates that MS had warned may not be compatible with that old driver. I don't know or care since there's better alternatives that cost $0 and take less time to implement in a connection string than that spent in this thread!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
