Hi
According to Release notes for Current Channel releases - Office release notes | Microsoft Learn Build 19426.20186 brings "Various fixes to functionality and performance" (nothing else ???)
If you're sure the ODBC issue you face is consecutive to the roll out of 19426.20186 this could mean this build introduced a product regression in which case nobody on forums can do something about it
Suggestion:
- Report the issue to MSFT: File > Account > Help Improve Office (icon top right)
- Roll back to previous build: Microsoft Office 365 - Uninstall an Update | DEVelopers HUT (never used)
