Problem with Merant ODBC to Progress/Unix DB

[Kieran Kissane]

Hi
I am attempting to set up an ODBC connection to a Progress/Unix DB without success.
I have modified the DB startup parameters to include -n 100 -Mn 40 -Ma 2 and restarted the DB without problems.

When I try to do a test connect I get the following error message
[Merant][ODBC Progress Driver][Progress]Database not started.

This despite that the DB IS started.

Does anybody know what is causing this?
Thanks in advance
Kieran

HI,
I have found that the early driver requires a username AND password. The password can be anything (a single Character will do) but there must be something in the field.
Hope it helps
