DB2 Connection Issue

I can connect to one db2 database through my application just fine. But when
I attempt to connect to another database in another application, I am getting
errors. When I create the connection object, I see the following on the
"ServerVersion" property: "ServerVersion = '_OledbConn.ServerVersion' threw
an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'", but it throws not
exception. When I create a command object and attempt to execute the
command, I then do get an exceptions of "[System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException] =
{" SQL1013N The database alias name or database name \"\" could not be
found. SQLSTATE=42705"}".

If I go to my desktop and create a ".udl" object to connect to the database,
it connects just fine. I took the information out of this file and used it
for my connection object. Likewise, if I go into the control panel and go
into the ODBC connections, I can connect to this data source just fine.

The db2 table that I am able to successfully able to connect to is on
another box, but I'm not sure that has to do with anything.

Any ideas?

Well, it might be wise to use the native DB2 provider from IBM. It's
in the latest client-access client.
