After a recent Windows 11 update, several users are getting this error when trying to use an Excel spreadsheet containing an ODBC link to a data file on our Power9.
We sync our passwords (manually) between the IBM i and Windows platforms.

When I search, I only find older information.

Anyone else encountered this?

TIA,
Greg
