Cathy,
 
The problem might be that your MapInfo Proviewer hasn't the ODBC support installed.
Uour could try copying the MIDLODBC.dll from your MapInfo 8.0 programfolder to a MapInfo Proview 8.0 programfolder

Subject: [MI-L] connecting mapinfo proviewer 8 to a SQL server 7 database

Hi List,
 
Does anyone have experience connecting to a SQL 7 database via mapinfo proviewer 8?
 
More specifically I have a MapInfo Professional 8.0 workspace that I would like to distribute to some of my collegues.  I have done this task simply before, but the difference this time is the database I am connecting to lives in SQL server 7 and not microsoft access.
 If I open the workspace (the one that lives in SQL server 7)  in MapInfo Professional it asks for a login and a password (chosen mapinfo, mapinfo)  and all works fine.  But when i try to open the same workspace with proviewer 8 I do not get this login dialogue, I simply get an error message stating I can not open the workspace.
 
Does anyone have any clues how to overcome such an issue?
 
Thanks for your help
:) Cathy
