Problem
When running a query on a MSUEDW View in Access/Excel using a Data Source ODBC, you receive an ODBC error: "ORA-01013 User Requested Cancel of Current Operation."( ODBC --Call Failed.) when the user did not cancel the query.
To fix this problem, the ODBC Driver settings need to be adjusted.
