Unable to connect to database server - Error!!!

When I try to run my application from within PowerBuilder or even after I build the application(pbd's) the following happens:

A dialog box appears with :Connect to SQL Anywhere(title) and User Id: and Password: fields already filled in. It has an "OK" and "Cancel" button. When I click the "OK" button, I get the following Database error:

Cannot Connect to Database
SQLSTATE=08001
[sybase][odbc driver]Unable to connect to database server: unable to start specified database.

Why does the first dialog box appear? This did not happen before and I'm wondering what change to cause this.

Also, why do I get the second error - SQLSTATE=08001 ? How can I fix this.

The above situation occurs also within PowerBuilder when I click on the Database Administration button on the toolbar.

I'm using PB 6.5 and SQL Anywhere 5.

Your help on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Kaul... Did you ever find a solution to this problem? If so could you point me in the direction of that said solution?
 
In the application properties, specify the driver settings as "SQL_NO_PROMPT"

I guess this shd work
