I have used ODBC drivers for Progress from both Intersolv and Openlink. Neither is perfect, however, currently I prefer the Openlink drivers. They seem much faster and easier to configure.
Also, Openlink appears much more interested in their Progress drivers than Intersolv.
I have VB 6.0 enterprise. The "persistent" ADO connection used with the Openlink driver is pretty cool, check it out.
