Hi there,
I am using the RODBC library to connect to an Empress database.
I have installed the ODBC data source with the server DNs number and port, and
named the source "Trawl".
It is the odbcDriverConnect that seems to have the problem, and I suspect one
of the settings in my Data Source is wrong, or that my syntax to identify the
database is wrong. I have not set CodeSet or ODBC Version.
Here are the error messages.
1: In odbcDriverConnect("Trawl") :
[RODBC] ERROR: state 08001, code -256, message [Empress Software][ODBC
DLL]Unable to connect to data source
2: In odbcDriverConnect("Trawl") :
[RODBC] ERROR: state 01S00, code 0, message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]
Invalid connection string attribute
3: In odbcDriverConnect("Trawl") : ODBC connection failed
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a specific syntax for
naming the database other than its name? It does bring up a GUI where I can
choose my data source and login, but then it just gives the errors above.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Steve
