Zak,
Try this:

"DRIVER={XTG Systems InterBase6 ODBC
driver};DB=myserver:c:\mypath\mydb.gdb;UID=myname;PWD=secret;CHARSET=
WIN1250;ROLE=myrole;"

Notice there is no slash after the server name.

Subject: [ib-support] ODBC connection string error


Hi,
I am tyring to connect to a FB database using XTG Systems InterBase6
ODBC driver. They claim that it supports the following conection
string:

"DRIVER={XTG Systems InterBase6 ODBC
driver};DB=myserver/:c:\mypath\mydb.gdb;UID=myname;PWD=secret;CHARSET=
WIN1250;ROLE=myrole;"

I modified this to fit my test program which is tyring to access the
employee.gdb database that is shipped with FB.
My connection string is the following:

"DRIVER={XTG Systems InterBase6 ODBC
driver};DB=localhost/:c:\employee.gdb;UID=SYSDBA;PWD=masterkey;"

When i try to test this connection using a Data Link file, I get the
following error: "Test connection failed ... Invalid Conection
String attribute"

Does anyone have any solutions or reason why its failing?

Thanks

Zak
