Bob, If you are connecting from a 7.5 to a Turbo V8 database, then you have to use the Turbo V8 driver Likewise, if you are connecting from a Turbo V8 to a 7.5 database, then you have to use the 7.5 driver In your case, the command you need is: SCONNECT ';driver=R:BASE 8.0 Turbo Database Driver (*.RX1);dbq=g:\rbti\RBG7\HOF' This assumes that your database name is HOF and that you have the corresponding data files hof.rx1 to hof.rx4 Javier, Javier Valencia, PE 913-829-0888 Office 913-915-3137 Cell 913-649-2904 Fax <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] _____
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 5:23 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Dsnless ODBC connection I am attempting to connect a version 7.5 database to a Turbo v8 via a Dsnless connection. (Yes I am in the process of upgrading, that is why I need the connection!) This command R>SCONNECT ';driver=R:BASE 7.5 Database Driver (*.RB1);dbq=g:\rbti\RBG7\HOF' gives an error of Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126 (Rbase 7.5 database driver) Any clues as to what error 126 is and is it possible to connect a 7.5 database to a V8 via ODBC? I would expect to be able to do this, but I must have something amiss. Thanks, -Bob
