We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
If you try to connect to a Sybase Database via an .idc file using the ODBC drivers included in Internet Information Server (IIS), you may get the following error message:

Error performing query state=01000, error 1225 Microsoft ODBC SQL Server

Driver DBNMPNTW Connection open Create file

State = 08001 error = 1225 Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver unable to

connect to data source.



CAUSE
The current Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver is not certified for use against Sybase SQL Servers.

For additional information on ODBC drivers, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

RESOLUTION
To correct this problem you need to use a Sybase SQL Server ODBC drivers available from other vendors. You can contact Sybase Corporation for drivers certified for use against Sybase SQL Servers. Many third party ODBC vendors also provide ODBC drivers certified for use against Sybase. Most ODBC driver vendors maintain a presence in the ODBC section of the WINEXT forum on CompuServe.
