Dialog failed

The "Dialog Failed" error message is a common error message. It appears when you do not prefix your iodbctest DSN's with DSN=. For example:

$> Enter ODBC connect string(? shows list): OpenLink

This should be replaced with:

$> Enter ODBC connect string(? shows list): DSN=OpenLink

Amend accordingly.

Note: In rare instances, this problem can be caused by authentication issues. Add UID and PWD to the connection string to rule out this possbility. For example:

$> Enter ODBC connect string(? shows list): DSN=OpenLink;UID=scott;PWD=tiger;
