    Hi there

     

    Can you have a look at the logs when you try and create the connection and see what the error is?

     

    Also is the ODBC driver installed on the Gateway Server?

        I would recommend having a look at the Gateway Logging and see what it causing the error..

        There would be more details in the gateway logs.
