Hi,

I too asked this question about a week before you ... never got any response though !!! Managed to figure out what you need to do though so here goes.

First of all you need to add your database and get the port number it will use (using the Progress Explorer Tool) ... now start this service running.

You need to add the MERANT ODBC driver to the data source Control panel, Administrative tools, Data Sources. Add you new data source here using localhost and the port number from the Progress explorer bit.

You should now be able to connect from VB.NET using ODBC connection.

This will only work if your database is local to your PC.
