I did change back to its original setting. In other words, I did undo the steps I described in my previous posting. This time, I tried username I see in the ODBC config object. What I mean by that is when I open the ODBC it showed me a dialog box where its connection and other properties are entered. ( I did not enter it manually. I assume that all was take'n care of when I installed TD) Since the password box is encrypted in there. I used the username itself--username=tduser and password=tduser. And below is the error I got.

I also tried to locate the getting started doc you mentioned above. but I could not find it in Terdata's website. Could you please send me the URL for that /doc/getting started document ? My other question is how do I find what username and pw to use to login? Or how do I connect to the database?
Your assistance is greatly appericiated.
Thanks
