if Chris you mean like this

then yes.

yup, looks just like it-

which is why i am so confused as to what is amiss.

as a test i also install PB 2017 on a Win 8 PC. it looks the same, and it displays in the Object window just fine and i can create profiles and connect just fine on the Win 8 PC. it is just on the Win 10 that PB 2017 appears to not acknowledge the list. note: i have uninstalled and installed 3 times on the Win 10.

The list of database interfaces comes from the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Sybase\PowerBuilder\17.0\Vendors

It should look like this:

Well that is what i was expecting to see in the PB2017 IDE under Database/Objects.

but this is what i see-

and when i click on the Database Menu Icon to refresh this i get this-

Now as stated earlier in the original question, PB12.2 gives this list just fine in it's Object list.

so i ask again, what is it i am missing that PB2017 is not showing the list after install of the IDE???

Note: Both are on the same Windows 10 PC.

Hello,

when PB 2017 installation completes, DB profile is meant to show you the attached screenshot, i.e. the list of all DB interfaces.

That means PB interfaces are installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Shared\PowerBuilder. For examples, PBODB170.dll for ODBC, pbora170.dll for Oracle, etc.

Of course you will later need to install the actual DB client software in order to load the above DB interfaces and connect.

Best,
