Nice to know what you're trying to achieve.
Many seem to forget that part, leaving you wondering ;-).

For those wondering, RDO is Remote Data Objects, an obsolete (COM?) API:

Looks odd, but I've never tried to make ODBC work with Wine, so I
really can't tell.

If I had to guess, I'd say that 'msrdo20' dll is trying to load
'rdo20es.dll' (es --> DLL containing spanish strings?), which fails,
whereafter code in 'msrdo20' fails to check whether the DLL load call
succeeded and just goes on to try and use something from 'rdo20es'..
But it's just a guess, I'm by no means an expert.

Try stuffing rdo20es.dll somewhere and see if that helps?

Otherwise, a bug report on bugs.winehq.org might get you somewhere, if
you can provide a downloadable version of the application you need to
run..
Also include links to dependencies, for example the precise MDAC
version you're using.
