Connect to Progress with ASP.NET

[crjunk]

I'm new to Progress and I was wondering if there are any problems connecting to a Progress database or if there are any limitations. I'm thinking of using ASP.NET and Progress together. In the past, I've always used SQL Server 2000 when working with ASP.NET. Are there any big differences between the two?

Thanks!

I'm doing the same thing. You'll have to use the DataDirect ODBC driver. Then you'll probably have to run the tool to synchronized the sizes of various data types. Progress allows flexible size datatypes and sometimes these sizes exceed that allowed by ODBC. Hence the progress tool to correct this.

Then you'll have to work w/ your Unix/Progress administrators to setup a user with the correct access to your database after having configured your ODBC connection.

G/L!
