Hi,
maybe i am missing something.
I have here a script which connects fine in LC6 to a DB using an odbc connection string.
The connection string looks like this:
get revOpenDatabase("ODBC","Driver={Actual SQL Server};Server=192.168.1.250;Database=testdb;UID=mr;PWD=Baj43jaX;",,,)
In LC7 and up i get the error
[iODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found and no default driver specified. Driver could not be loaded
Connecting using a DNS (using the same driver from Actual Tech) works w/o problems in LC7 and up.
This problem just exists on Mac OSX. On Windows i can connect to a DB in LC7 and up using a ODBC connection string.
Tried with LC 7.14 and LC 8.1.0 DP3.
Did anyone else run into this already?
Could this be a bug?
