I've a windows 2008 server and an asp website.
I moved site to my server from a windows 2003 server and it was working good. It uses mysql as database and Set Names 'Latin5' was it's odbc driver initial statement.
I tried to set same initial statement and I got "Set Names not allowed by driver" error message and db update/insert queries gives error.
The site is in Turkish language.
Thanks for the help..
SET NAMES has been removed in MyODBC version 5.1.

So you have a couple of options:
With MyODBC 5.1, remove all of the SET NAMES calls.
Change your DSN in ODBC to specify a character set, otherwise if you are using a DSN-less connection string, you will need to add Charset=Latin5;
Example:
Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword; Charset=Latin5;
You may also need to delimit your table names, MySQL uses ` to delimit table names.
Example:
SELECT id FROM `table`;
Last option is to downgrade to MyODBC 3.51.
