I also have a weirdness with that server name. Either it wanted the \\ in front or it didn't I can't remember which. I do remember fiddling with that field. Too bad it can't query "What drives are you attached to anyway?" and give me those as options :)

A get an error message U2DB1004. I reckon you guys really need to make this a lot easier if you want people tto se this and buy the other modules. In the documentation it says something about a JDBC driver that needs to be nstalled but isn't included in the package and some obscure file that needs to e created somewhere and contains connection data but to me this is just Greek nd doesn't mean anything. Other products like mvDeveloper just work without having to find a driver omewhere and create any files by hand. I bet you can do better than that.
