I have not had much luck with oterro and Visual Studio. I am using 2005. I can get it to connect to some of my tables but it is clunky and very slow. I do connect from many other apps(excel,word,access,frontpage(sort of), and others) with good sucess though. Hopefully with Extreme they will fix it. Dan Goldberg

I'm trying to set up an ODBC connection in the Data Source Configuration Wizard in VS 2008, using the Oterro 4.0 Driver. The driver works, as I've successfully connected with it repeatedly in other applications, but when I try to connect to an established DSN with VS 2008, I get the following error: --------------------------- Wizard Form --------------------------- An unexpected error has occurred. Error Message: Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataDesign.SyncDesigner.SyncFacade.SyncManager' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataDesign.SyncDesigner.DslPackage, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. --------------------------- Any ideas?
