Database Connection Error

[Anonymous]

In trying to establish database connection using the Talen Open Profiler we keep getting an error message when the host name is supplied. We are trying to connect to a MS SQL Server database and using two different set ups we get the same error message. Check Connections; Check connection failure: Unknown server host name "TRN-TS1\Training
We are stumped, assistance greatly appreciated.

Hi hawston,
ODBC connection is not supported yet (5327 ). You should use a JDBC connection.
