Have you checked your .odbc.ini and uvodbc.config files are setup correctly on your server??

You can use the DS_CONNECT command from a universe command prompt within your project directory to confirm if you have setup your config correctly. I.E. locate directory where project is on file system, and cd to that location, check uvodbc.config entry in this location for an entry to your database, as setup in '.odbc.ini', enter 'uvsh', and you should go into Universe command line, then enter 'DS_CONNECT 'DBNAME', and provide credentials. This will ensure connectivity from DS Engine, not from your client through Toad. Post back results if you are still having problems.
