    Hello, hope someone can sort this out..

    I have this strange issue in my setup.

    In my connection string I cannot connect with "SQL Server" driver but I can connect with "SQL Server Native Client 10.0"

    Both drivers are visible from within ODBC Administrator

    "Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=dbMirror1,777;Failover_Partner=dbMirror2,777;Database=MyDB;Uid=dbuser;Pwd=password;Network=dbmssocn"

    Setup:

    I have three Windows 2008 R2 servers

    All servers are in a workgroup

    2 servers are running SQL 2008 R2 and have database-mirror setup

    1 server running as withness

    I want to be able to use the "SQL Server" driver....

    Where should I start looking to solve it?

    /Ole

    The sql server driver does not support the failover partner parameter
