Heyo!

I have read that the MSSQL native driver, as supplied with BCB 4 can be
used with both MSSQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 databases.  We have the same
database running under both versions.  My application runs well with the
6.5 version, but bombs when attempting to connect to the 7.0 version of
the DBMS.  In fact, I get an error message stating that the server can't
be found or does not exist.  Has anyone out there attempted this, and
were you successful?  At this point I don't know if something isn't set
up correctly or if the driver is at fault.

This is a 3 tier application, and I have had limited success running the
app. using the MS SQL ODBC driver against the 7.0 version of MS SQL
Server, but I'm afraid that things will be slower than tolerable with
ODBC.

Thanks,
John
