NODBC on Vista SP1

[Kirt]

I am working on Dell computer with Windows Vista SP1 installed. I am using ODBC but having some problem with it. Whenever I connect from Visual Basic project to database, it is unable to connect. Someone recommended me NODBC for my project. Does any one know about this? Can you help me with some information on how to use it?

Microsoft Navision is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application that provides an ODBC driver to allow third party applications and reporting tools to access Navision data. The Navision ODBC driver is only available for Windows platform. The current version of Navision is 4. Since Navision version 4 is supplied with an ODBC driver, it isalso described as NODBC in the Navision documentation.
