I'm sorry for posting to the developers group, although I'm not one.
I just have a simple question and the other news group is not helping.
for three days now I'm trying to get an application connects to a MSSQL database on a windows box.
I'm running the following:
Mandrake 8.0 wine 20010731
windows 98 partition and sql server is installed on it
My application is built in Powerbuilder 6.0.
it comes up with the user name and password box which should be authenticated through the database.
when I submit the user name and password I get the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL SERVER DRIVER][TCP?IP SOCKET]General network error
Hmm, ODBC.
Wine supports the ODBC DLL, but you'll have to have a working Linux ODBC library, too. (--debugmsg +odbc) And I'm not even sure this applies here at all.
Run wine --debugmsg +relay,+odbc,+text,+string MyPrg.exe &>/tmp/wine.log and check why this error occurs.
on the linux box I've already setup the MSSQL alias in the client connectivity utility of the sql server.
I'll appreciate an answer so I can get some sleep, I'm literaly working on that for three days.
Sorry, slightly late. (vacation)
