We need to be able to connect to a Progress OpenEdge driver, is that possible with PowerBi?

[spatel4]

We have a database we would like to connect to that requires a Progress OpenEdge driver which doesn't seem to be listed as an option.

I use Power BI desktop release of January 2016 and I tried to connect to my database Epicor ERP (Progress Open Edge 10.2A driver) via ODBC and I have an error message, but it worked with Excel 2016. The error is: "Error OLE DB or ODBC : ^DataSource.Error ODBC: ERROR IM003 the pilot specified was not load because of system error 53: the path was not found. (Progress OpenEdge 10.2A Driver, \\epicor-admtools\Epicor\oe102a\bin\pgoe1023.dll)..". How can I handle this?

Stephane what was the connection string that you used? I also want to connect to Progress with Power Query. Are you creating DSN in Windows first (making reference to the Progress ODBC driver) and then using the DSN in the Power Query connection string? The issue you have seems to be with the location of the Progress ODBC driver dll file.
