Hi, I have experienced a problem connecting MI 5.5 with an ODBC 3.0 complient database, Metrica NPR. An ODBC trace seems to narrow the problem to a specific request : SQLSetConnectAttr (SQL_ATTR_ACCESS_MODE), which does not seem to work with an 3.0 complient ODBC datasource. Accordingly to documentation on Microsoft homepage (http://msdn.microsoft.com/libary/psdk/dasdk/odch4zn6.htm), this kind of request has been deprecated in ODBC 3.0, whereas it was ok in ODBC 2.X applications. I have been able to connect to my ODBC 3.0 datasource, using lowlevel MapBasic calls, but it appears that the standard builtin DBMS support in MI 5.5 (File- Open DBMS table) only works with ODBC 2.X datasources. In the release notes to MI 4.12 there is a statement that ODBC 3 file datasources do not work, but I have not been able to find any other notes on this issue in regards in to MI 5.X or 6.0. Info : using international (danish) MI 5.5 with patch 5.5.0.26 on NT 4.0 with SP5 Any help/pointers/info about this issues will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
