Why not use textfile and the textodbc driver? Then you really don’t need to connect CR to Progress DB.

You need to use the SQL engine for this and connect using ODBC or JDBC, as far as I know the designer only works with ODBC.  To be able to connect you need to enable the sql engine on the database server, either allow both 4gl and sql clients to connect or setup a separate broker for sql.
