I am not familiar with this particular database but I can certainly point you in the direction of the resources.

Database Connectivity User Manual is the best place to get started. You can find it by opening a VI >> help >> Database Toolset Vis and examples >> Related documentation >> Database Connectivity User Manual. You can also find the manual on the Windows Start menu.
When you have isolated the problem, check out the advanced search page for NI web site. http://search.ni.com/?col=alldocs&layout=TechResources&ql=a
This searches just support pages and allows the user great flexibility in their searches.

I've never heard of Progress DB but I do have some questions that might help. Have you configured the connection in the ODBC Data Source Administrator? Does the database require a user id and password and have you provided it in the LabVIEW database connection function?

Adding on to Dennis's reply.... What's generating that error message?
Is it a generic app message? If so, I recommend tracing or
implementing some sort of driver logging, if Merant has such a
facility. This may reveal a more telling database- or ODBC-level
error.

Also, do you know if your database is running in sockets or shared
memory? Perhaps you are failing to
pass the correct socket (or other)
options in your ODBC Data Source.

Finally, if your Progress database is unsecured, try passing the
sysprogress or the UID of the user who created the database as the DSN
userid, and don't pass a password.
