Hiroshi,

I've been playing with this new version a little and am seeing some
differences with the error messages raised. It's difficult to tell exactly
what's going on because my own code is somewhat 'in limbo' at the moment,
but with 07.01.0006, if I try to connect to a server that's not running I
get:

2001-09-12 08:51:14 - Error in pgAdmin II:frmConnect.cmdConnect_Click:
-2147467259 - Could not connect to the server; Could not connect to remote
socket.

But with 07.01.0007 I get:

2001-09-12 08:54:46 - Error in pgAdmin II:frmConnect.cmdConnect_Click:
-2147467259 - Unspecified error

The errors reported by pgAdmin II are as returned by ADO from the ODBC
driver. Any ideas?

Regards, Dave.
