Summary: Enabling logging breaks ODBC for non administrators
Initial Comment:
Steps to reproduce (tested on windows 2003)
1. Create a user DSN logged in as a non-admin user
2. Create another user DSN logged in as admin user. As this user, enable logging ("mylog")
3. Try to configure the DSN logged in as a non admin user. The ODBC driver crashes with error 998.
This is probably because it can't write to the logfile? Which brings up two points:
1) There should be error checking for that :-) If that's exactly what it is.
2) The logfiles are completely usless for non-administrative users, since they are hardcoded to c:\. This should be configurable, or if it's hardcode dit should at least be hardcoded to the temp directory (as set in the environment), not to c:\. This is true even if my assumption that this permissions issue is what causes the problem specified.

Message:
This is a good first step, but I think you'll want to fix it
properly at a later time. This way, there is now no way for
you to get an error log from a user who doesn't run as local
administrator! I'm sure that'll come back and bite you
eventually :-)
But it's no longer a deal-breaker, so this is definitly a
good start.
(I'll leave it up to you if you want to re-open the tracker
or if you want to open another somewhere, or just remember
it some other way)

I solve it by the easier way. I add error checking.
Patch is attached at the bottom of the page.
