OleDB Connection Error

Hi all,

 

I am having some weird issues in trying to connect to Microsoft SQL Server with an OleDB connection. I have Spatial data (Geometry) in my database, and when I try to pull from an ODBC connection, I manage to get all the data, including the geometry data to come through for 2 out of 20 datasets. All the rest I get the data, but I dont get the Geometry data. 

So the work around was to try use an OleDB connection to the database. When I connect this way and test the connection, I get a successful connection. However, when I try to run the actual connection, it gives me an error that connection is unsuccessful. 

Has anybody got any experience to fix this issue??

 

Thanks in advance!
