Hi folks, I am hoping someone could help me. Granted, I am using an old version of Witango, 2000, but hopefully someone a bit more knowledgable might be able to point me in the right direction.
I need to connect via IP to an OpenBase database. I downloaded the recommended ODBC driver, Actual OpenBase and installed it on a Win 2003 server. After install, instructions state to create a user DSN, then I should be ready to go. When I create a User DSN, I can load the tables and view the columns in the Editor. But when I try doing a simple search, I get "The specified data source cannot be found." and "Unable to connect to the specified data source. Verify that data source is properly configured and that database server is online." When I create a System DSN, I also can load the tables and view the columns in the Editor. I can also search and return data, but whenever I try to update, I get a Witango crash... "Client Error. The server refused connection." I go to the Witango logs and get the following... "Fatal error at 0285aa11: Write EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at f133c6dd." And then Witango goes through the restart stuff. So I guess one question would be, am I supposed to be using a User DNS or a System DSN? If a User DSN, is there something else I am supposed to be doing to get this to work past the Editor? I can view and load tables in the Editor, but cannot run an application through a browser. And the System DSN seems to get me a bit closer, but it seems very buggy and I cannot update the tables. Would a crash happen if a user on the other end did not have the correct permissions? Sorry for all the questions. I am not sure whet exactly the difference is between User and System. Also, I have made similar types of connections to MSSQL databases and have not had these types of problems, but this was several years ago.
