ODBC & Crystal

Vantage 4.0 required you to purchase the Merant SQL-89 driver. It was
$100.00 per machine. Starting with Vantage 5.0 it came free with Progress
and was installed as part of the install of the client software on each
machine.

If you dont want to purchase it from Epicor you could go to DataDirect and
get the drivers.

Subject: [Vantage] ODBC & Crystal


This is a really stupid posting but I have to do it. We have never
used crystal reports before and now we want to. Where do we get the
ODBC driver from? I don't know if it came with the Vantage
installation CD or if it was separate. I can't find it. We are on
version 4. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

With 5.0, it comes with vantage. I'm trying to remember 4.0, it's been a
really long time since we were there, but I believe with 4.0 it was
purchased separately from epicor, $100 per license I think? There is a CD
they send and instructions from epicor and the installation is a little
tricky.. with 5.0 & up, it is 100 times easier!

Craig,

We had to purchase it separately from Epicor when I purchased Vantage.

When we purchased Vantage at 4.0 there was a seperate charge listed for the Merrant ODBC driver and it came on a seperate CD. We bought three copies at that time for $297 plus there was a maintenance fee for one year. We are still using it on 5.20 having elected to not switch to the built-in ODBC (yet). Perhaps you did not purchase the Merrant product with Vantage? I'mnot sure if it is still available (check your CAM).
