Not connecting to db

[Ruyenloresearcher]

I am kind of a idiot at times so sorry if this has been covered or something simple I am forgetting. Done a lot of research and tried a lot of things yet still missing something.

Here is the problem. Loaded the NPC editor, installed the ODBC drivers and ran the register_ocx file (all loaded good). Here is the DB ini

host=localhost
user=root
password=********
database=peq
everquest_folder=C:/EQ

I ran the test_connection program and it came back positive connection.

When I start of up the NPC editor it say's "Error in connecting to the Database Did you register all the files?"

I can then load the program and do query's and create NPC's. Then once and a while the program will stop working.

Any suggestions as to what I did wrong??

Thank you in advance.
