SynapseDirect

Well...I just went through and deleted everything, thern re-installed all.  This time, during the setup of the firebird program (which I chose to run as a service), I noticed one little checkbox at the bottom that I had just been leaving unchecked by default.  Something about registering the directory on the system or some such.  I thought, "What have I got to lose by trying it?" and checked it, and finally, I was able to connect to the database!!!  OK, now I'm off to figure out how to use everything...I may have more questions later.

Thanks,

I installed on Vista business with no problems ... but never tried Ultimate.

The synapse server installer installs everything for you .. the manual installation of firebird, odbc etc is the fall back position if the installer does not work for you.

Note that Vista has a problem with the very latest Firebird installer ... there is some bug if you choose to install the FB control applet.  However, our installer is using an older version  and so should be okay.

Hi,

I am having an issue with the DSN setup. All the settings appear to be correct. (IT was auto-populated). When I hit the test connection button, I get a failure to connect to Database. I verified that the user name and password were correct as well as the path to the DB. Any ideas? Did the username/pass change? I'm a little stumped.

Thanks

Hi

Please post screenshots of your system dsn tab, and then the screen that appears after you click "Configure"

Thanks

Do your settings look like this ?

where is your REMR.fdb file ?

The poor mans method for screenshots is to

(1) press PrintScreen

(2) paste the screenshot into MS paint. 

(3) save it as a .jpg or a .gif or .png.

(4) post it here.
