Connecting to pervasive via ODBC

Has anyone successfully imported data from pervasive over the .net managed odbc bridge? Our admin has set up a odbc connection that works through Excel, but in SSIS the connection manager errors when trying to connect at runtime (the "test connection" button in the connection wizard reports that everything is ok though).

What error are you getting?|||

"Data source name not found and no default driver specified"

|||

A bit more info on this:

The connection seems to work in design time as metadata is fetched from the datasource to populate the column mappings in the datareader source|||

For anyone interested:
This was an issue with running the ODBC driver (presumably 32 bits) in 64bit mode. Running the package in 32 bit mode fixed the problem.

Connecting to MS SQL

Hey everyone. I'm having some serious problems connecting to my database. I've pretty much bugged my server admin to death and I still can't connect to it. I've tried almost all the programs out there as well as http://www.aspenterprisemanager.com. I've probably spent a good 12 hours on this task (im trying to put MaxWebPortal on my site) and I'm going to ask for help. This is what my admin gave me for the SQL db:

Database Name: S5464_sehs
SQL Server: mssql4.uplinkearth.com
ODBC DSN: S5464_sehs
Username: sehs.us
Password: **********

Would anyone be able to help me to connect to this?what's the password? it pings out ok|||check your PM's for the password|||doesn't look like the service is running. can you get your dba on the line?|||i have no idea. My admin talked to them today and they said they were able to connect to it this morning.
