https://communities.sas.com/t5/Microsoft-Integration-with-SAS/Working-with-Visual-Studio-2005-Microsoft-ODBC-Driver/m-p/1059#M61 I'm trying to link to SAS/Share using .NET within Microsoft Visual Studio using a "databound object" and I am very close but right now I get an error that I can't figure out: ERROR [IM001] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver does not support this function <BR /> <BR /> Has anyone successfully bound to a SAS dataset? I have the ASL example working but it seems to handle binding to SAS datasets differently and did not start out using the 2.0 framework, which is a requirement here.<BR /> <BR /> Any help or advice is appreciated, Tue, 18 Jul 2006 18:38:05 GMT deleted_user 2006-07-18T18:38:05Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Microsoft-Integration-with-SAS/Working-with-Visual-Studio-2005-Microsoft-ODBC-Driver/m-p/1059#M61 I'm trying to link to SAS/Share using .NET within Microsoft Visual Studio using a "databound object" and I am very close but right now I get an error that I can't figure out: ERROR [IM001] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver does not support this function <BR /> <BR /> Has anyone successfully bound to a SAS dataset?

According to this site: <P><BR /> <A href="http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/v8/whatsnew/tw5508/znid-147.htm" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/v8/whatsnew/tw5508/znid-147.htm</A><BR /> </P><B><BR /> "A SAS/SHARE*NET server is a SAS/SHARE server for which SAS/SHARE*NET software is licensed. SAS/SHARE*NET software represents the Data Services component of SAS/IntrNet software. SAS/SHARE*NET is the licensable right to send requests to a SAS/SHARE server from a client that is not a SAS application. Examples of clients that are not SAS applications are: <BR /> &lt;&lt; some applications snipped for space&gt;&gt;<BR /> <BR /> An application that uses the ODBC driver, such as Microsoft Excel <BR /> uses the ODBC driver, which provides ODBC-compliant Windows applications that have "read" and "write" access to local and remote SAS data sets.<BR /> <BR /> OLE DB consumer or ADO application <BR /> uses ShareProvider to view and update data through a direct connection to a SAS/SHARE*NET server. ShareProvider implements the Microsoft OLE DB specification and can be used by any OLE DB- compliant or ADO-enabled application."</B><BR /> <BR /> So the reason I suggest Tech Support is that what you want to do is possible and they will help you figure out the configuration and usage issues specific to your situation.<BR /> <BR /> To open a track with Tech Support, go to this page for further information:<BR /> <A href="http://support.sas.com/techsup/contact/submit_emits2.html" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/techsup/contact/submit_emits2.html</A> <BR /> <BR /> Good luck!<BR /> cynthia <BR /> Message was edited by: ForumAdmin@sas at Jul 31, 2006 9:28 AM<BR /> Sun, 30 Jul 2006 16:03:41 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Microsoft-Integration-with-SAS/Working-with-Visual-Studio-2005-Microsoft-ODBC-Driver/m-p/1060#M62 Cynthia_sas 2006-07-30T16:03:41Z
