Cannot change table

I have a table in an access/sql database that I ususally
can change data in when necessary. It is an ODBC connection and it's just this one table that I need to change data in quite often. Currently we just change the data manually untill the dev team develops a more proper way to do it.
The other catch is that I can change the table on some machines and not others, regardless of user id. I have re-done the link table and nothing changes. It is totally abnormal.
Any ideas would be appreciated due to my lack of experience with databases.

Thanks in advance.
 
Probably no ODBC made on the other machines, check the machine you want to work with.
 
Bare with me, my language is quite beginner.
I have a good ODBC connection on my machine (the one I am having trouble with) and the same connection on th e other machines to the database.
Didn't quite get what you were saying.
 
Well, I'm not that much of an expert myself. Anyway, when I had a problem like yours I found that it's worhtwhile to make a new ODBC on the machine you´re using, but first check if the same driver is used on different machines. (you'll find version-numbers on another tab in your ODBC screen) Then link the table again.
Good luck, hope you'll find a real expert if this doesn't work out!
 
NowI'll make ya feel like an expert compared to me but what do you mean "driver" and where would I see if they are the same or different.
