Title: Cannot create ODBCDDFs
Post by Cyndee Pappas on 08/16/07 at 18:08:48

I tried ODBCDDF under UT-A in EVO. It says ODBCDDF.RWN does not exist. I looked and it doesn't. Don't know why.

Then I tried ODBCDDF.RUN under UT-A in Classic DBA. Again says it does not exist, but it IS there in the DBAMFG folder (not the company folders). Does anyone know why it won't run? :-?

I think that either of the two combinations you DIDN'T try will work:

ODBCDDF.RUN in Evo
ODBCDDF in Classic

You can execute .RUN files in Evo but you have to tell it that's what they are.
In Classic it assumes it's a .RUN file, so if you tell it .RUN it's probably trying to find *RUN.RUN which is obviously not there.

It easy when you don't do it bass-ackwards. Thanks.
