First thanks for making a great product like the database browser. I used it a lot on a Progress Database.

At this moment I\'m trying to handle an older Progress database. Although the database doesn\'t have a username or password the ODBC driver requires the use of the Connection string DSN=test;UID=;PWD=;. Without that it connects, but doesn\'t gather data.

Now i\'m back to good old VB to get the data out, but it would be great if the Database Browser would include that string (or have an option to add it)!

Or i\'m missing something

Hello

Just type it into the box you use to select DSN

Hello Mike,

I've taken a look last night (again) at the Database Browser i've installed on my laptop.
In the Add Connection dialog box I can name a connection, select an ODBC connection, and in the dropdown list select a DSN. Of course there is also the username and password textboxes.
The only place I can add the ;UID-;PWD=; parameters is in the DSN dropdown list.
Although I tried for argument sake, this is not working.

What fill in are you referring to?

P.S.: Last night the download to the Database Browser was broken on the web site.
