I just set up an ODBC connection to Progress 8.3B on a Windows 2000 Server via ODBC Version 4.0 by DataDirect Technologies. DataDirect pointed me to an FTP site where we downloaded an evaluation copy of ODBC Version 4.0. The tech support at Progress Software talked us through the configuration. There are both Server and Workstation configuration issues which most likely are different on the Unix Server side than they were for Windows 2000 Server. If you have a registered copy of Progress, just give them a call with your serial number. They were extremely helpful. The site is

http://www.progress.com.

You can get a number from the "contact us" link.

Hi there.

I am trying to find the odbc 4.0 driver for download, but can't seem to locate it. I have a progess database on windows 2000 server and want to use odbc to connect to it using MSACCESS.

Can you help?

go to

http://www.datadirect-technologies.com

and use the Contact Us to give them a call. They'll e-mail you the information and provide you a contact person. Please note that the download is only an evaluation. They sell a 5-user licensed copy for about $625.00.

Alternatively, OpenLink (

http://www.openlinksw.com)

have a good range of ODBC drivers for varying client/server configurations. They also provide evaluation downloads, documentation and tech. support.
