problem while connecting to Progress Db

[barise]

Hi There,
I m developing an application with Delphi. What I want to do is, connect
To Progress V8.3 database using Merant ODBC Engine 3.7 with my application program.
I have create a simple progress database, I can connect it easily and can do what I want with it.
But now I want to connect to a main database which located and served from a Unix machine.
The client side operation system is Win2000 Pro.

Now, When I click test connection button it prompt me 2 error messages as:

"The server doesn't allow non-Progress connection"
and "Cannot establish the connection with Open Interface Driver"

I couldn’t find what is the solution for this.

Sevgili Baris,
Buyuk bir ihtimalle odbc kontrol ve seri numaralarin eksik. Ondan dolayý o hatayi veriyor. Ayrica Progress 9,1? serisinin odbc destegi daha iyi.

Dear Baris,
Probably your odbc licence and control numbers not valid. If you setup odbc driver licence number your problem will be solve.
Otherwise progress 9,1? version's odbc and other database support good than progress 8,3? version's.

Hi:

I am doing some similar but with Visual Basic.
You say that is easy to achieve the connection, but I get only error messages. Can you say me how
to achieve the connection? Step by step, because
I am new about this matter.

Re

First o f all you should pass me your error messages, also version of database. Besides of this, r u using ODBC engine? if yes which one? Are u trying to connect database in direct mode or via server?
