If you are trying to open a data source using jdbc - obviously the correct java connectors are required as well as an appropriate JRE. The JRE can be obtained from here : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
If you are using odbc, again the correct drivers will be required. For instance if you are trying to connect to mysql using odbc you'll need to get the correct odbc drivers from here : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html As to your specific error message - it could be that there are some additional parameters required before you can open the database. Have all the required fields been completed? Little more information is required about what type of database your trying to connect with, what platform your using, etc... /paul On 11/2/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > When I try to open a data source I get an error message.
