Try this procedure:

1. Install ODBC and Sybase open Client ( are installed automatically during SCCS Client installation)
2. Configure a Sybase server entry
- run dsedit … ServerObject . . Add ..Server Name …
- Server adress . . TCP = CLAN,5000 i.e. 172.35.159.30,5000
- ping server . . OK
3. Define the DNS
- run odbcad32.exe . . system DSN . Blue . . Add Sybase ASE ODBCDriver . . Finish
- Data Source Name, Data Server Name the same like in 2.
- Test connect . . . Login ID & Password for SympClient . . . OK

Then you can run Excel,Date,GetExternalData,New database Query . . . .
How do i get this to connect after this? I get errors saying cannot connect to server or HAFAILOVER.

The setup described is correct.
Did you check ping server under the step 2. and Test connect under the step 3 ?
Also you could try to increase your Windows rights to Power user or Local Admin.

I get the Invalid Attributein connection string:, i also get within the same error
1. Databases. Login Failed, Check for valid userid, server name and password.

What do I have to do that i am not doing?
