Hi Chris,

Bodo is correct. A Data Access Server (DAS) is needed for the Ingres .NET Data Provider to connect to. However, you can get the data provider to connect to the Ingres 2.6 by setting up an intermediate installation (let's call it myserver) of maybe Ingres 9.2 that has a vnode definition (let's call it myvnode) that points to the Ingres 2.6 installation. The .NET data provider connection string would look something like "server=myserver;database=myvnode::my26databas e;". The vnode redirection should get you to 2.6 database. More details and vnode_usage options are in the Ingres Connectivity Guide.

Hope this helps,
Dave
