I don't think so, since it includes demos using PSQL datasources, but I'll have a look at the info on the Tango CD and see if I can find any clues as to whether it is licensed only for access. I have been using the Mac 3.52 promo version only with Butler so I don't know if it has limitations otherwise.

The installer seems to make references to other ODBC sources I think.

When I use the Windows Tango 3.52 Editor that comes on the CD to open a taf with the Butler tcp/ip link as the datasource, I can see the Butler drivers making a connection with Butler on the Mac but then Butler seems to time out (something times out) because everything just sits there - whatever user account was used to open the taf in the editor and make the load request is shown in the Butler Users table and there are connections made, but it hangs from there. We did test the connection by deleting the datasource and when we requested it to load the tables it gave an appropriate error (saying that it couldn't connect to the datasource) so the connection from the Win 2k box via Butler tcp/ip on the standard Butler port seems to be working - I have a feeling that it may be a port mapping problem between the two machines since the mac is sitting on the internal network and is reached externally (form the Internet) by mapping incoming requests to port 81 for http and that has presented some problems when ftping to the machine from certains networks - any ideas on how we can test that?

I'll make a connection to a local dsn (say an access db) and see how it goes. We did load the PSQL demos but we were having the stanza problem at that time so we un-installed the whole tango installation and re-installed a few times, the last couple of times without the PSQL demos so haven;t tested it with them I don't think.

Another point to note is that the uninstaller did not remove the references to the PSQL drivers in the ODBC panel in Win2k - is this, in some way, a possible cause of the problem would you think? It is annoying - we'll re-install them and see if they work and then try to un-install them separately - any tips on that?

thanks Steve

Any chance you're using a Tango for Access product? Yes there was a release
of a product that was similar to Tango for Filemaker but for Access and the
windoze platform. I can't remember if it was a 2.x product or 3.x. I used to
have a list of the serial number prefixes which identified the exact version
of the product but I don't know where it is.

Other things to check is that you've set up a system data source, etc. I
know that the Win Butler driver works under Win2000 because I've used it.

Will that same version connect to any other data source?

Hope this helps,

Steve Smith

 Hi everyone,
 this is particularly for those who have been around tango for
 quite a while.

 I recently installed Tango 3.52 promo version (10 user version) under
 Win 2k. Originally I was getting stanza probs which we finally were
 able to resolve (by fluke only though the suggestions from historical
 and recent entries on this list were useful).

 Now I am trying to connect from the Win2k box using Butler WIN 32
 drivers to a Mac running Butler but when running the taf which uses
 the tcp/ip DSN I get this message:

 An error occurred while processing your request:

 Position: Insert
 Class: Internal
 Main Error Number: -109

 This type of data source is not supported by the server license.
 >
 Position: Insert
 Class: Internal
 Main Error Number: -4

 Unable to connect to the specified data source.
 Verify that data source is properly configured and that database
 server is online.

 I'm sure I remember having connected via tcp/ip from one mac to
 another using the same license (actually the Mac version of the
 software off the same CD) so I think the server license message is
 erroneous. But am I wrong? Is it indeed not possible using this
 license?

 thanks
 Garth
