Can't connect to my ODBC server DB

[BTilson]

I do database development here at my job, and strange problem has popped up. In the majority of the work that I do, I link to various tables from a *huge* networked database, getting only the tables that are relative to my project and go from there. I currently have about four different databases in various stages of development, all which link to various tables on the server database. For some reason the database that I am working on right now refuses to link up, and it gives the error:

(INTERSOLV)(ODBC SQLBase driver)(SQLBase)09272 GCI NTI Not initialized

However, I have tested all my other databases and they will link up with no problem whatsoever. I cannot think of what I have done to cause this discrepancy in my databases, but if anyone can point me in the direction of what could be potentially causing this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks a ton.

SQLBase_211 if that's what you're asking?

Yep.. just wanted to confirm ;D

Are you linking these tables through code?
If so, what code are you using..

Have you tried linking the table manually?
If so, what results to you receive..

Sorry for all the returning questions..

I basically just went to the tables section, chose the button for a new table, chose "Linked Table" and went from there. No custom code involved at all. I used the exact same method, linking to the same database, and in some cases even the exact same tables, in my other databases and they'll still link up just fine. For the life of me I cannot figure out what happened.

Ok I've been searching around and I found where I could upgrade the file that those links mention, but to download the package is anywhere between $179 and $379 if I recall correctly. I currently have version 6.1.2 of that file and haven't been able to version 7.0+ anywhere but on that site. Is there anything else I might be able to do? It simply isn't possible to pay the money required to get that file at this point in time.

Thanks for your assistance either way
