Thank you for the reply.

I tried setting TDSDUMPCONFIG then running tsql and I do get a log
file which shows it successfully found the dsn, host and port...

$ /usr/local/freetds/bin/tsql -S SQL1 -U userid -P password
...

However, when I try the connection from within UniVerse I get no log.

Running osql produces some curious info....

$ /usr/local/freetds/bin/osql -S SQL1 -U userid -P password
odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini should be in /lib/ld-linux.so.2
looking for DSN [SQL1] in /home/perryt/.odbc.ini
     found DSN [SQL1] in /home/perryt/.odbc.ini
[SQL1] not found in "/home/perryt/.odbc.ini"
looking for DSN [SQL1] in /lib/ld-linux.so.2/odbc.ini
       cannot read "/lib/ld-linux.so.2/odbc.ini"
osql: error: unable to locate SQL1 in any odbc.ini

My odbc.ini is located in /usr/local/etc.  It appears it is not finding it.  
I'm puzzled by the line "odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini should be in 
/lib/ld-linux.so.2".  Why would we be looking in an so
file for the ini's ?

Thanks.

Perry
