Could you send the actual script you are using to make the connection?
If you are using variables to specify the username, password &
database name, can you get Rev to "put" the complete command before
executing it, so you can be sure it is really working. Or perhaps
hard-wire the data for test purposes to see if you can connect that
way.

Cheers,
Sarah
