Hi Donald,

I just checked it as well. It is busted (when using the spiffy new 'ODBCDatabase' object). Unfortunately the new connect method doesn't seem to work at all in 4.5.

I can get the older method to work (using a 'Database' object) by using the new plugin but using the older OpenODBCDatabase method, ie:

ODBCdb=OpenODBCDatabase("DSN=" + CurrentDSN + ";UID="+ CurrentUser +";PWD="+ CurrentPassword,0,"")

Notice the trailing 0 and blank string. These should be optional but they aren't with the new 4.5 plugins.

I haven't realbugged it.


I have the following code

dim db1 as ODBCdatabase

  db1 = new ODBCDatabase

  db1.Host = "201.68.121.17"
  db1.DatabaseName = "orders"
  db1.UserName = "user"
  db1.Password = "1234"
  db1.DataSource = "orderdb"

  if not db1.connect then
    msgbox "Couldn't open database"
    return
  end if


When it hits the if not... It brings up the "select ODBC database dialog"

Why isn't it going automatically??

BTW after I select the database everything works fine.
