The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Error on connection string to Btrieve "database"

Asked by jenndo in Btrieve 4GL Database

Tags: , , , ,

I am trying to connect to a Btrieve "database" on a server from my Visual Studio .NET C# code on my machine, but I am getting the Error "Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
Here is the connection string that I have:

Driver={Pervasive ODBC-32};DDFPATH=\\<server>\WinMPM22\<folder1>\<folderWithBtrieveFiles>;DATAPATH=\\pbydata1\WinMPM22\<folder1>\<folderWithBtrieveFiles>

I have tried using a connection string specifying the Server and the Database, but it gives the error as well, but I don't understand how it could find the database that way anyways since you have to navigate through several folders to get to it.

The path that I have specified has .DDF files as well as the data files. I am really getting frustrated with this and need a solution fast. Can someone please help?
Thanks,
