Hi together,

i need a connection from Access97 to SQLBase 6.1.2 (running on Novell-Server
3.12) via ODBC from a Win95-Client.
The SQL-INI-Editor creates the following entrys in the local SQL.INI:

[win32client]
clientname=Win32User

[win32client.dll]
comdll=sqlwsspx
comdll=sqlodb32

But the connection doesn't work. I receive the errormessage as follows:

[INTERSOLV] [ODBC SQLBASE Driver] [SQLBASE] 03703 CFF MCE Missing
configuration file entry

I installed the Microsoft SR1 for Office97 but the same errormessage arises
!!

Help, is there anyone with a solution

Greetings Karl

Add this to your SQL.INI

[ODBCRTR]
REMOTEDBNAME=aaaa,DSN=bbbb;UID=cccc;PWD=dddd;SRVR=eeee
where
aaaa=What you want to call the remotedbname
bbbb=The real database name (may also need a DB=bbbbb statement if this
doesn't work)
cccc=user
dddd=password
eeee=servername

Why Centura insists on requiring this in the SQL.INI while all other vendors
connect to ODBC directly is beyond me.
