In Microsoft Office Visio, when you use the
Organization Chart Wizard to import data from an IBM DB2 Universal Database 6.1
or 7.0 database to your organization chart, Visio may stop responding
(hang) or you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
Unable to read names from ODBC data
source
Back to the top
This problem may occur in situations where a compatibility
issue exists with Visio and the IBM DB2 Data Sources Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) driver, and this problem prevents Visio from reading
the data in the database correctly.
Back to the top
To work around this problem, convert the database to another
format that is supported by the ODBC driver (for example, convert the database
to Microsoft Office Access 2003 format), or use another third-party ODBC driver
instead of the IBM DB2 ODBC driver.
