One of my friends has implemented Sybase ASE with RunRev.  He is currently
unsubscribed from the mailing list.  I will forward this email to him.  I am
sure that he can be very helpful regarding your use of RunRev with Sybase.

I will also send you an duplicate email off list and provide you his direct
email address.  I know that he will be more than happy to assist you in
addition to the responses that you obtain on list.

Subject: ADBC Database Connectivity Question


> 1. We have a Sybase Database.
> 2. I installed the Actual ODBC Driver for SQL Server ODBC drivers for
> Mac OS X from www.actualtechnologies.com
> 3. I ran their Admin app and was able to connect to the database.
> 4. I used Excel and was able to connect to the database.
> 5. When I try to connect via Revolution using the Database Query
> Builder, I get "revdberr,invalid database type"
> 6. When I go to the message box and enter the following:
> get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","Paymentsdb",,"<my user name here>","<my
> password here>")
> I get "revdberr,invalid database type"
> 7. I went to the runrev web site and downloaded Database Examples by
> Tuviah Snyder dated 14th May, 2002, and then ran it, the first thing it
> does is ask for connection data. I select ODBC, The host is the
> database name "Paymentsdb", the database is left empty, the user is my
> username and the password is my password. When I press connect I get
