Are you using the ADO.NET OleDb* objects? Ususally those will connect to any ODBC compliant database.
Yes, I used those controls, but for some reason it wouldnt connect.. i dont know why.. it was wierd :-/
What kind of error message does it return?
You need to download the ODBC .NET Data Provider. You can find it at msdn.microsoft.com somewhere.
After you download and install that, you will have to use the classes in the Microsoft.Data.Odbc namespace instead of the ones in the System.Data.OleDb namespace.
Thanks Tygur... im looking it up now
