Place Database Part prompts for SQL Server Login repeatedly

dkman123
dkman123 over 10 years ago

I'm using OrCad 16.6 Lite and SQL Server 2012 (11.0.5058) 64 bit.

I have Access 64 bit connecting to SQL just fine with the same credentials (although through a 64 bit DSN).

I have a 32 bit DSN for OrCad (Yes, I did run into that issue).

I am able to go through the CIS Configuration wizard just fine.

But when I go to Tools - Place Database Part I get the SQL prompt (which I expect once)

a) If I type the wrong password it will tell me so

b) If I type the right password then hit Options and click the database dropdown it is able to list the databases [that this user can access]

c) If I hit Cancel it goes to an ODBC DSN selection dialog

d) If I set AutoIt to type the password and hit OK repeatedly the prompt eventually stops coming, but the Part Database window never comes up

I disabled UAC and ran OrCad as Administrator with the same result.

I renamed my Capture.ini and dbc file causing it to recreate them with the same result.

If I point it back to the sample access dbc file it opens the Part Database.

What am I missing?

PS: I'm not certain that I'm posting in the right spot, so don't bash me for that.  Moderators feel free to move it to the right spot.
