I had problems connecting via ODBC until I figured out that the Database
Name field was not optional (my permissions were fine. I know because I
had been using it by the CLI for some time). For some reason the driver
needs that information to make an initial connection or a test. Sorry but
it was so long ago that I have forgotten the exact error message but I do
remember it was something very bland and not very informative like the one
she is getting.
