P98768

[BrianSmith]

I have performed the fix mentioned in P98768 for V9.1E which adds entries into the registry on the client machine. When I add a new User DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator on the client machine, I can now see the DataDirect driver 4.10, but when I test the connection I the the error:

[DataDirect][ODBC Progress Driver]Invalid attribute in connection stringescription.[DataDirect][ODBC Progress Driver][PROGRESS]No Data.

I am trying to connect to a database from a client so that I can run Crystal reports.

What does this error message mean and how can I fix it?

Message could mean lots of stuff, but to start somewhere and
ruling out you have some exotic codepage on your client compared to the -cpinternal of the database:
Do you use the correct port number?
If you do, do you use a secondary SQL broker to connect to?
If not then configure your database to have a secondary sql broker, and connect to that portnumber.

Re: P98768 problem solved

I made the appropriate entry in the hosts file on both server and client which fixed the problem.
Thanks
