  • Subject: Rumba ODBC bug?
  • From: "Bale, Dan" <DBale@xxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 16:51:06 -0400

We are a Rumba 2000 shop.  We are using Rumba's "optimized" ODBC to download
AS/400 files directly into MS Access97.  (FWIW, we're also running on NT4.)

A new table is created in Access by using ODBC.  The data is being
downloaded into Access.  Everything looks good, EXCEPT that, intermittently
(but more and more often now), the sequence of the fields in the Access
table is not the same as in the AS/400 file.  This is driving us nuts.  (I
am aware of how to manipulate the field sequence in an Access table via the
Design sheet, but I don't want / shouldn't have to do this!)

Usually, the pattern is that the first 'n' columns/fields will be shifted
several columns over; it could be the first one column/field or the first
seven (or anything in between).

The driver is called "RUMBA AS/400 Optimized Server (32bit)", the version is
1502.05.00.00, the file name is WDODBCOS.DLL, and the date is 10/5/99.  fwiw

Has ANYBODY run into this problem?
