Executing DTS packages w/ Progress DB on mapped drive

Hello everyone,

I took a good long look around for an answer for this but haven't found anything solid.

We have a Progress 9.1D database on one of our servers, and we want to replicate that data using SQL's Data Transformation Services. We are using the Merant ODBC driver (3.60, 32-bit) to currently establish a connection between the two databases. The progress database is a mapped drive connected to the other data server.

When I run the DTS package manually, everything works fine. But when I execute the DTS from outside (dtsrun command line, ASP, or PHP) it fails.

Now, I understand this seems more of a SQL DTS issue, but here's where I need some Progress Experts to help - The main issue involving this is that SQL 7 is NT-based, thus does not support mapped drives. I have tried placing a UNC path in the driver's registry key, but that didn't help.

Is there some way to establish a connection to a Progress 9.1D database without us having to use a mapped drive, or a way to change the driver so we don't have a problem connecting to it from outside the SQL database?

Thank you for your help,
Brandon
