In Business Scorecard Manager builder on my laptop, I am trying to create a  
  
new ODBC data source.  
  
I click test connection and am getting the following error:  
  
---------------------------  
  
Microsoft Office Business Scorecard Builder  
  
---------------------------  
  
The Business Scorecard Manager server could not connect to the data source.  
  
Verify that all of the required data has been entered in the boxes and that  
  
the connection information is correct.  
  
---------------------------  
  
OK  
  
---------------------------  
  
I confirmed that when I use the same data source string with the Builder  
  
directly on the Scorecard Server (different machine, same domain) I can test  
  
successfully.  
  
I believe it has something to do with the App Pool which is defaulted to  
  
Network Service account.  There are 2 Scorecard Web Services on the machine.  
  
Please walk me through a fix if possible.  What happens when I have 10  
  
different ODBC data sources with different credentials, not necessarily  
  
using NT authentication?  Why doesn't Excel even work?  
  
thanks,  
  
Andrew

You might want to use a domain account, which has permissions to the Excel,  
  
for IIS AppPool.  If it still does not work, please include the connection  
  
string you are using.
