Have you tried using ODBC trace to see what is really being passed to ODBC?

This like this can be a matter of using single quotes versus double quotes
or sometimes single quotes inside of double quotes, etc.

Subject: Sql: Cognos on Windows XP with SQL Server 2005 Question
Hello All,
Not a HP3000 question but a Cognos question and I hope somebody can help.
Called IBM for support but it's a slow process of sending emails back and
forth.
Using Cognos 8.41.F on a Windows XP machine with Microsoft SQL Server 2005
and
Microsoft Server 2005 express. I need express for the application to run.
Will
not run without it. Their database is created using the Express version.
I am able to attach the database and when I go into SQL Server Management
Studio,
I can see the data, I can edit the data, I can delete the data.
If I am in Quiz and try to detach the table, I get a error message that it
is in use
so I know Quiz is accessing it so I know my ODBC connection is ok. The test
on the
ODBC connection is always good.
When I go into Quiz, I get the following message when trying to access the
table...
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\InfoScanJobs>quiz
Q U I Z (PowerHouse 8.41.F)

this is what my powerhouse dictionary says...
database InfoId type ODBC &
high fill hex "7A" &
open "InfoId" &
owner dbo userid "sa" password "xxxxxx"
of course, that isn't the real password.
I can access all other databases and tables running on this machine with
Cognos.
IBM's response to me was:
"Remove the quotes from around the open name. They should not be necessary
unless you're using special characters.
What happens if you remove the userid and password? These should be in your
ODBC definition.
If that doesn't help, try removing the owner."
Tried that, and and it didn't recognize the database.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
