Connect client PC to MFGPRO

[Kishor Chari]

We have developed an application in .Net windows application for MFGPRO db residing on Linux server, the ODBC Data direct is used to connect to the database which worked a treat when connected from the server. The PROGRESS version is 91E.

We are getting error Data source not found or no default driver specified. when the same application is run from client XP pc. We tried using oledb as well same error was received.

QUERY:

a) Can we do it with ODBC? How?
b) Can we do it with OLEDB? How ?

TIA

Can you testconnect to the database with the odbc driver configured on the machine?
If you can then the dsn is setup correctly and then the problem has to do with the way you connect from within your .NET application.

And just something I have to say:
The best way (IMO) to talk from a .NET front end to a Progress db is by using .NET open client. So that wouild be a good reason to upgrade to 10.1C or higher.

What OS are you working with on the Linux side?
Have you recently upgraded Progress recently?
