Sorry, I made some typing errors...the settings are correct. The same
ODBC configuration works without problem with the same server and all
other clients and operative systems we have here (Windows 98, XP,
Windows 7 Pro 32 bit). Is not a matter of the application, since the
error pops up when I try to check the connection in the ODBC
configuration panel of Windows 7.
