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. 

Best regards
