Optional feature not implemented.

[leoliang]

Hello.
I am trying writing an asp script to view Progress data on a web page.
I have built a DSN using the Merant 3.70 32-bit Progress driver. This successfully connects.

Whenever I attempt to connect to this DSN via the asp script I get the following error.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[MERANT][ODBC PROGRESS driver]Optional feature not implemented.

THE DSN WORKS!!
---------------
I have built a .vbs script to test the DSN and the connect works successfully.


THE ASP WORKS!!
---------------
I have tested connections to SQL servers & Access databases using the same method & they work.



Is this a common problem?
Does anybody know of a fix or a work around?


Can anybody help please????

Regards

I have not seen that specific message, but here are a couple htings to check for:
1. Check to see if there are any patches that you may need to apply. I am not sure what versions you are tyring to run together.
2. If the database is located on the same system as the System DSN you created, veryify that the Host Name is set to 'localhost'.
3. Verify that the database is setup for use with ODBC connections and has the correct services entry

Hope this helps!

Whenever I attempt to connect to this DSN via the asp script I get the following error.

Is that whenever you connect, or when you issue a query?

I've never seen a connection attempt fail with this message, but you can form SQL statements that this ODBC driver can't understand. Then this message is returned.
