I'm trying to use the Advantage Database ado.net provider (9.0.2.7) working
in IronPython (2.6.1003.1).  OS is Win7 x64; IDE is #develop 4.0.0.5720.
 I'm getting an error that isn't telling me much.  This is based on a C#
example I have running on the same machine, in VS2010 RTM.

Here's the code (Advantage.Data.Provider.dll is referenced in the project).
 It blows up on the last line, with the error noted below the code.  My hope
is that the error will mean more to those with more experience than I and
point me in a useful direction.  FYI: the code references a directory as a
database, and the CommandText selects a field from a DBF that is a free
table, that is, not part of a VFP database container (if you were to get the
idea that I'm retreading in IP after 24 years developing in xBase languages,
you would hit the mark <s>).

import Advantage.Data.Provider
from Advantage.Data.Provider import *

_conn = Advantage.Data.Provider.AdsConnection("data
source=c:\\vpme9apps\next\scaledsardine\versionb\xcase;\
ServerType=local; TableType=CDX")
_conn.Open()
_cmd = _conn.CreateCommand()
_cmd.CommandText = "select name from ddent"
_reader = _cmd.ExecuteReader()

And the error:

Advantage.Data.Provider.AdsException: System error.
