Hello everyone,
I have an application that is being developed in Visual Studio 2005 using C# .NET. This application, until recently, has been using FlexODBC v4 to access our old DataFlex 3.1 database.
I was using the trial version of FlexODBC v4, and this expired. Due to delays involved with purchasing v4, when this trial expired, I installed an old license of version 3.1.06 as an interim solution.
However, as a result I am now experiencing problems. I have a number of DataAdapters executing queries using FlexODBC. One is successfully querying the database from within the code, but then a second query (on a different table, but utilising the same connection string) results in an OdbcException with an 'Invalid Descriptor Field Identifier' message.
The same query executes successfully using the VBDemo utility that ships with FlexODBC, it is only within the code that is a problem.
Furthermore, when executing any query from within the Visual Studio 2005 dataset designer (including the one that is executing successfully within the code), I am experiencing the same error.
Can anyone advise whether this problem has a resolution, or is the only solution for me to put some more pressure on management to speed up purchasing of version 4!
Many thanks in advance,
