In Powerbuilder 2019 R3, I open my Database Profile and do not see ODBC. It was there a couple of days ago, but now it's gone. What's strange is I have a default profile set up within ODBC and that default connection still connects when I open a datawindow or open the Database painter. So I "sort of" still have the ODBC connection, it's just not visible for me to switch databases, update passwords, etc. in the Database Profile painter.

Did you launch PowerBuilder using the "Run as Administrator" option?

No, I've always just run PowerBuilder normally, not as Administrator. I just tried running as Administrator and still don't see the ODBC entry in Database Profile.

Hmmm... that's very strange. Are any other PB installations in your company having same issue?

Hi Steve;

  This can be caused by an MS-Windows update that includes ODBC updates as the PB IDE gets some of this information from the MS-Windows registry. I would suggest a re-installation of the current IDE. Also, if you are not on MR01 (build 2703) I would also suggest applying that maintenance release as well as it has some key fixes over the GA release of R3.

Regards ... Chris
