Thanks Mark, I have made the correction you suggested but it didn't make a difference. I have loaded the software to a Mac Mini with Leopard and it doesn't work either. I am using Actual Technologies drivers, version 2.8c, the latest for Leopard.

I have a Windows XP and iMac with Tiger (10.4) using Actual Technologies version 2.7. and both those systems work using the same code.

I have sent the following error message from the Console to Actual Technologies.

Has anybody used Leopard with my setup successfully? I'm pondering a bugzilla report.

Thanks Rob

If I'm reading your revOpenDatabase script correctly, you're 3rd parameter
is incorrect.
Try this:
revOpenDatabase("ODBC","Remote_EBCO_ODBC",,"userName","password")
(just remove the double quotes from the 3rd parameter, as in revs doc copied
below...)
I use ODBC connections to MSSQL 2000 and that's the way I do it.

From Rev's Docmentation:
"To use a DSN to identify an ODBC database, use the DSN as the host, and
leave the databaseName parameter empty."

Mac OS X 10.5.1(powerPC), Rev 2.8.1 I keep getting the error:

ODBC Administrator is configured and tests correctly, as does 'Get

Using other database types, like MySql, works fine, but ODBC always
returns " invalid database type.

My console shows this error indicating a library was not loaded.

Any ideas how to fix this? I have downloaded and re-installed Rev
2.8.1 without success.
